On another thread I mentioned it, but since Al is here
I figured that I would voice my distaste for the method. It just seems odd to me that an item that gets a couple of bid from 9PM to 3AM is still open.
In my case, there is a card that I am leading and then someone bids against my Auto bid at 11PM or so, so that it will not close in the first round and then does not bid again until I am asleep (say 2:30AM).
Now in fairness they did go over my auto-bid, so I probably would not have won, but I am fast asleep at 3AM so even if I want to bid one more increment, I did not.
I also "miss" items on the individual clocks of some auction houses when bidding on many items, but for some reason that bothers me less than the bid against me while I am sleeping.
Anyway, seems like I am in the minority and most seem to like LOTG auction format. I was glad with REA went away from "whole auction at once" and have fully embraced the individual clocks.
Just my take.
btw... Al Jurgela is my full name
