I have never understood why sports auctions structure their closing times the way they do. No one should be up bidding at midnight or after. I dabble in a lot of different collectables and if I'm bidding on art, guns, movie posters, etc., I typically know if I won before it's dark outside, and definitely before midnight.
*(edited to add)* Why not start extended bidding at 2pm and do lot by lot closing starting at 6pm? You'd still get people complaining about the closing times but if the auction closed on a weekend I doubt the total final hammer would be much different that if the auction closed at midnight.
