But 5 minutes may not be enough. Especially, when you are bidding on 8-12 lots; it’s just too hectic in 5 minutes. I think you need more time. I think I am starting to think this would be my ideal auction close:
Extended bidding starts at 11pm eastern. During extended bidding, every lot closes on a lot by lot basis after 15 minutes goes by on that lot without a bid.

This seems like the most reasonable compromise.
