I like the auction extension idea but I think it might need to be shorter than 10 minutes? On a $1 increment you could go on for quite a while, maybe...I dunno, but I do like this idea. Maybe extended bidding starts at 9pm cst?
I am revising the top as we go....

I’m sure the underbidder would have ponied up another buck for it, but didn’t get the chance. Since you can’t set a max bid in the BST format, sniping will hurt sellers of nice, vintage cards. You can see how I handle it if you look at the auction I posted today, if you want to take a look. I would like to see something like that. PMing a max bid is a poor second option, but doable.
