Is this business segment run by methamphetamine addicts? Why would anyone choose this?

They are making sure their west coast customers don't miss out. I hate it as well, but they don't care about inconveniencing you, if a bid gets placed again in the middle of the night its more money for the consigner AND them. Its the reason they all do it this way.

University Archives runs its auction starting at 10 a.m. ET. I think a West Coaster can roll their ass out of bed at 7 a.m. for that a lot easier than an East Coaster can stay up till 2:45 a.m.

I suspect they think that their primary bidding demographic is located in Southeast Asia, so they're focused on making sure that those bidders can leisurely submit their final bids in the afternoon while the rest of us are sound asleep.

I guess , when bidding recently, I bid ( while still awake) my max and then go to bed. Usually I don’t win this way, but I have never liked this practice of “ regular bidding over….but wait….now EXTENDED bidding begins.” Many other venues I have participated in, like Gunbroker, have a specific beginning and end, and you can plan and count on that. There have been a lot of cool items this year on these auctions, but I absolutely hate extending bidding hours and hours after it should have ended. Nothing will change, the powers won’t read any of this, but sometimes, it’s good to vent.

Hi Val, All quiet on the western front, thanks for asking. I got excited for you when I saw a Sam Rice Witmor come up in a recent auction, unfortunately it wasn't a vertical back. And I suppose the East/West demarcation line is geographically relevant, everything East of the Rockies is East Coast to me :-)

Phil and Frank, thanks for the colloquial geography lessons. I get what you two are saying. I was born in and have lived my entore life in the VA suburbs of DC. When I was a kid, when someone said they were from out West, I assumed they meant west of the Blue Ridge Mountains (which are in VA), or maybe from as far away as West VA.
