Good point Corey.

A live auction succeeds partly because bidders often have to make some snap decisions, most of those being to raise what they thought was their maximum bid. That's less likely to occur in an internet auction, when those final hours drag on (another reason why the 4:00 AM closing time may not be productive) and bidders are not fighting impulses, but instead fighting fatigue.
