that SOME ten minute rules apply to the one item, and others apply to the WHOLE AUCTION. Some auctions stay open until NOTHING has been bid on for 10 minutes, and some close, ah, like stars winking out, one item at a time.

And there's usually a glitch in which regular bidding is extended by half an hour, the whole auction site goes on the fritz, or...people forget how to sleep.
