Russ Brightall I can think is that if it's a month long auction they get more exposure, some of those catalogs are very thick, and they send out e-mails and new people are looking all the time... they probably want the most exposure possible, so at the last minute when everyone has seen the auction they can lal have a bidding frenzy. Not all of us are on ebay daily, so you miss out on some things that are 3 day or buy it now auctions, same thing here, people are always looking and if you have your items for sale longer you will get more people who will potentially want it...
but yes I agree, i would rather not have to wait 4 weeks until i put my bid in knowing i'm going to get killed by someone with deeper pockets than me
