I outbid someone on a lot when I woke up this AM. Hope it wasn't you!

I agree that, at some point, there has to be a hard close. I was stuneed to see the thing still going on at 6:00AM. I actually think it just ended at around 9:45 EST or so. Although, another way to look at it is it gives us East Coasters a second chance after the West Coasters got their bids in while we slept!
