Auction Length

[Archive]

We are unique so are going even longer....all the way out to 22 days....(just kidding)...I think 3-4 weeks is the industry standard and as Barry says it gives everyone time to mull over what they want to do and make arrangements financially (not that I have ever had to do that)....Plus, again as Barry says, some folks could be away for a week and miss the whole thing. The other aspect is that auction companies work for their consignors and want to make/keep them happy. I am sure our consignors wouldn't want a 7 day auction as they want the highest prices possible and 1 week is just too short for the reasons mentioned above..Personally, with as bad as ebay has gotten, I see more and more sales/consignments coming to auction houses. regards
