I have no major beef with hotly contested lots staying open for hours. What's frustrating and infuriating is when there is no action and you are the winning bidder at midnight, one am, two am, three am, four am . . . and then a bid comes in at 5:15 am topping yours, and you have been winning the item for weeks.
(Whatever happened to the term beef being used to denote a complaint or problem. Haven't heard it in years.)
