When an item ends individually, I know I need to be there slugging it out during that time. I can anticipate when it will close and time my bids. I can make sure I am there/awake at that time.
I'm curious to hear the economic argument for the current set-up, since I don't really see one.

I think the argument for “all at once” was to get the best possible price for the consigner.
I can see perezfan’s point if you are bidding on a bunch of items.
As someone bidding only on one item, I’m with Jeff in that if my item is subject to an individual 15 minute rule, I can be there T 9:00 EST and do what I need to do.
