Sorry you got shut out of some items you wanted Steve, but I don't understand how you can not watch 24 (or less actually since you said the items you were most interested in, which implies less than everything you bid on) in 15 minutes. Especially because once you place a bid you can ignore that item for 15 minutes to get to the others.
I had a buyer once tell me they were interested in over 100 items in extended bidding. I concede that could get tough.
You see all the people on here complaining about auctions going until all hours. It is rare for us to go much past midnight. We feel what makes our buyers happy will ultimately make our consignors happy. Of course the punchline is there's no way to please everyone. We just have to settle for doing our best.
Thanks for the feedback, but it's just not something we hear nearly as often as we do how much people like being done at a reasonable hour. So, at this point, we're not going to make any changes.
