I've enjoyed people's theories about how this new REA format could hurt buyers or sellers. Nearly comical. No, definately much more convenient to sellers to have an auction close at 4:15 am on the east coast. That's smart business. Surprised the NFL hasn't caught on and started games at midnight NY time. Hell, I might open a restaurant and only sell food between 3 and 5:35 am.
Prime time. I got Goldin's message last night as I was shutting my phone off. No big deal. Rarely do I ever see a one of a kind item I must have. Happens once or twice a year at most. For most of this stuff I'm comfortable going to bed and letting someone else who isn't exhausted from working, taking care of sick kids, etc. "win" it.
