It's hard to figure out the psychology of thousands of bidders. For some, having a day to think about things may have meant deciding not to keep bidding (plus, maybe they were pissed off and did not bid in protest). For others, the extra day allowed them to get in bids they could not get in during the outage...but in the light of day may have focused them on the lots they really wanted.

My experience was that the one item I won was from a bid made on 4/25 (before extended bidding). My consignments picked up some bids during the day but only one (out of eight) received any bids in the extended period.

I think the extended bidding was much calmer than it would have been the day before and that the vast majority of items closed at 9:10. My guess is that much of what would have happened in the extending bidding the night before happened during the day of 4/25 (before extended bidding).
