The concept of not requiring a bid on an item before extra time starts is not completely unheard of.
Sterling Sports Auctions has a somewhat similar rule. From their latest auction: “One bid in the entire auction prior to 8:00 PM EST on March 30, this bid is all you need to qualify to bid on ANY item in the auction during the extended bidding session.”
And I think Clean Sweeps requires that you bid on 10 items to get “VIP” status which allows you to bid on any item in extra time.
So PWCC has taken a more extreme approach. Not sure how I would feel about their approach as a consigner. It obviously removes the incentive to bid before extra time, but can increase bidding in extra time.
