. . . I, too, would like to see the rule universally applied that a bidder has to have placed an initial bid before a set time, inorder to have the right to bid thereafter.

Also universally applied, if only one bid has been placed on a lot by the set time, that lot is now closed. Period.

Regarding Clean Sweep auctions, I enjoy bidding in them. But I have noticed a item or two keep reappearring. Perhaps the successful bidder reneged. Perhaps the consignor was the highest bidder. Which brings me to my next point. Is it possible that the additional bid after you signed out was due to a seller's reserve price? I don't think I've seen it mentioned in lot descriptions for Clean Sweep that a reserve is in play. I may be wrong, but I don't recall seeing mention of a reserve on the lots I considered bidding upon over the past few year. Based on this thought, my guess is the late activity might be an unknown reserve in play.
