I voted B as I am (mostly) buying. I would vote A for consigning!

How about option A, but with "extended bidding" beginning at noon Eastern instead of 9 pm?

Yeah, is there a reason extended bidding needs to start so late? I'm sure the people running the auction houses know a lot more than I do about it, but entire auctions running until midnight seems excessive, and I'm just talking about the west coast. It's brutal for the east coast bidders (who probably outnumber by like 3:1 at least).

I voted C.
I like a hybrid, kind of like LOTG does it (items without a recent bid close at a certain time and the rest of the auction remains open), or Cleansweep (buyers premium or bid increment goes up for bids placed after a certain time).

I don't think there can be a perfect ending because everyone has different ideas and agendas. I know that I generally fall asleep after about 1am and I don't put max bids in....so, I lose out a lot nowadays.

This will never fly, but I'd like all auction items to have a cold end at the same time: 10:00 p.m. EST or earlier. I already know what I'm willing to spend, so I place my max bids before that time so I can get on with more important things like sleeping. Not interested in spending more than my max bid or staying up until past 2:00 a.m. to do so. Ridiculous.
Also, these auction houses should know their audience. Most of their big money customers are not 20-something night owls. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 10-02-2024 at 06:11 AM.
