Next day I see someone with whom I've been abrasive in the past (a considerable multitude) has bid $129 with a minute to go. No Sir, what is in place is simple and functional.

And No to bids extending the time. That adds confusion, makes it a game instead of an auction...

I reckon folks that don't like what there is now can forego bidding.... and folks content with the present can be done with auctions if they change. What's the problem with how it is now, again???


Maybe I should audition as a 60 Minutes curmudgeon.

I would argue the other way. Extending the time is the only way to make it an “auction” in the BST. If you don’t have extended bidding, then it becomes the “game” of who can hit 8:00:59 before the other guy, without going to 8:01:00.
