I think that's a great idea, though at some point I would reduce it to a two minute rule (to force bidders to literally stay glued to their computers). As to Leon's point that such a rule would be too complicated, I understand the logic behind that concern but feel bidders will figure it out. A middle-ground solution might be to start out with a two-minute rule.
