Barry: "If you had a set ending, the auction house would leave money on the table. What if two people are willing to spend $5000 for a lot, and with a minute to go it is still at $2000? It will sell for a lot less than it should have.

Also, if everybody put in their bids at the same time, wouldn't the system crash?"



If two people are willing to spend $5k on the same card, why is one guy winning it for $2k? Why hasn't the other $5k bidder bid until now?

Secondly, as per our conversation this AM, I understand you're not too tech savvy, but if you're auction software crashes when two simultaneous bids come in then you need to find new software.
