I'm sure just an oversight, did you email or call them??

I know I've said it before, but a month is just too damm long for an auction to be open. We all rush the first few days and place a bunch of bids and then just wait till the end of the auction to reengage. What's the point of a month long auction? I am sure they are hoping media attention brings in fresh blood and all that, but it just lulls me to sleep frankly.

The people that can afford the big ticket items take long vacations.

have you called or emailed the auction houses to share your thoughts. I'm sure they welcome suggestions on how to run a better auction.

I assume the guy who posts here from RE sees people's comments as well as you do. And obviously they have reasons for doing it that they believe are valid, regardless of how they might irk me personally. Just blowing off steam. I think 15or so days is more than adequate to get whoever is going to come to the table to the table.

+10.

People bid at the beginning and the last couple days. The difference between a 14 day auction and 30 auction is 16 more days of non bidding.

They want to give you time to sell off stuff to bid even higher on their auction.

Yeah, or maybe a medical bill, home repair job, or other situation/crisis rears its head in the interim . . . . .
