Hey Steve,
I wanted to point out that this auction closed at 6:30 am EST, which was 3:30 am PST. It wasn't really helpful to me on the west coast to have this closing time. It seems to me that the closing time helped the east coast more than the west. Of course, it would be next to impossible to predict that those on the east coast could go to bed, get up at 6:00 am, and continue bidding, but it isn't really a benefit to be on the west coast all the time either (like never having any big shows here). I happened to wake up at 2:30 to hit the head, and noticed that I had lost out on a bid in Memory Lane, which had closed, while I was asleep. It isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. Just an observation from the other side.
