Exactly right. To close each lot individually is only a benefit to certain bidders, but certainly not consignors. Let's say you have $10,000 to bid in the auction and you are going hard after a T206 Green Cobb which eclipses the $10,000 mark at 11:00 PM. Under an individually closed lot auction, that $10,000 might not get spent on another lot if it has already closed. But in REA, you can move that $10,000 to other auctions after 11:00 PM.
