What's unfair? Everyone has the same opportunity to bid. A set ending is actually more unfair, a guy who's a better sniper has a better chance of winning. The real reason though is an auction isn't supposed to end until the bidding is over. Extended bidding is the best way to reproduce a live auction in an online format. Could you imagine going to a live auction where the auctioneer announces "Bidding is open on lot 32 for 60 seconds. GO" and whoever yells a number closest to the end of the 60 seconds wins???!!!
