OK....I am sort of new to this "auction" thing.... Can someone explain why there is ever an extended bidding? Once regular bidding is over couldn't we just hit the 30 minute clocks? Maybe I am missing something...(or I am impatient, or both)....regards |

leon - I've been agreeing with that for quite a while. It's just a waste of time now. |

"Extended bidding" is designed to extract the maximum possible money from us. If they could figure out a way to collect payment, they would never close. |

I personally can't stand it. I wish they would just have a set time and end it then. It's kind of tough for those of us east coast people that have to get up early to stay up until 2 AM on a weekday... |

I live on the West Coast and I used to think the end times were extreme. It used to be: Don't stay up late. Go to bed, get up in the morning and place a bid. |

I'm sure there were bargains to be had since it's been commonly reported here, but every lot I was watching went for (or is still going for) prices that give no indication of an economic recession. |

I think you and your staff should run 5 different computers at the same time. That way you could hedge your bets against frozen computer screens. Just an idea. Happy Holidays!!! |

I agree with Leon's concept of when the auction folks could start a countdown clock, it's nuts, and Jim, I think, is correct in that it is designed to get more money. The auction over 30 minutes after in ended?@$@%???? |

If the Bruces must have the precious their budgets may be too low to compete with the filthy hobbitses... |
