There have been a lot of cool items this year on these auctions, but I absolutely hate extending bidding hours and hours after it should have ended. Nothing will change, the powers won’t read any of this, but sometimes, it’s good to vent.
I hear you, Mike. Maybe they believe we're prone to make worse decisions with our money late at night.
