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.

East coast folks have many card shows featuring vintage cards. They are few and far between here on the West coast. So we each have unfair situations we need to deal with and navigate.
Having said that, the each lot closes individually structure is just better, and should be adopted by all auction houses.
