Hey Brian,

Is there a way to get a fair warning text sent to my phone like the outbid alerts? Im sure I'm in the minority for people that do not have their emails go to their phone.

Great email Brian. REA is no question the super bowl of auctions and I would gladly stay up until 4am+ for your auctions- a midnight ending is simply the cherry on top of an amazing event. I am one who mentioned I like the way Heritage closes, and I do, but who cares - your auctions are second to none and I am just happy to participate. Sunday can’t get here soon enough

The one point that no one has brought up is how my wife and mother are both going to hate me because REA decided to host the last day of bidding on MOTHERS DAY!!! Thanks Brian, I'll start prepping the couch now...

Another marriage saved. What would have been funny/sad is if the weekend passed and he didn't look at the auction and found out it closed a week earlier than he thought....

It was actually a day not a week! I thought it closed on Sunday and it had closed on Saturday - I logged in Sunday to place bids and start doing battle, and was met with " bidding closed" on every lot! It was an auction that had some key items I would have placed strong bids on! It took me weeks to psychologically recover from that!

How crazy would it be to run an online auction closing like a live auction? Item 1 is scheduled to "close" at XX:XX but will remain open until there is no bid for 60 seconds, then on to lot 2.

Probably wouldn't work on an auction of 2700 items, but it would most closely mimic a "real" auction.

With the sense of advertising urgency created across all forms of media, who can blame anybody?

For me it is simple, I always go to bed early, since I don't want to catch late night auction madness and bid more than I am comfortable with. My final bids are locked and loaded, so let the chips fall where they may.

+1. Does no one trust the "Honest Autobid" (max bid) function?

Best to all,

Larry

PS: Ok, I got it. You get outbid on one lot, and you have several others you can spend those $$$ on!

Not sure you can set a snipe without a definite ending time.
