This often benefits west coast buyers because most of these auctions seem to end between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. eastern time. There have been times when I have woken up at 5:30 a.m. eastern time for work and see an auction still open and able to bid if I still wanted. That just seems ridiculous and like the auction house is trying to milk every dollar out of the auction.
I agree 100%. Any auction company keeping bidding going after about 2am is just being stupid. IF people know it's closing they will bid earlier. I will never consign to an auction that runs all freaking night.
