Also, these auction houses should know their audience. Most of their big money customers are not 20-something night owls.

The whole idea of extended bidding is to mimic a "real" auction. At a live auction I have never said "Hey guys I'm taking bids for 30 more seconds and wherever the bidding is at that time the lot is sold." Frankly Ebay style that allows sniping isn't a "real" auction to me.
