Each lot will go to the highest bidder regardless of their bedtime, and that's not so bad. In fact it's a great scenario for consignors. As a consignor, I much prefer this format to H&S, Legendary and Hunts, but that's just me.
It's possible that Mears can't end it, as the auction software might not allow it while bids are still coming in. I have heard of this happening in past auctions. Still a ton of bargains to be had, so it's kinda fun... I'm heading back to their site right now  |
They could easily end the auction manually. At worst case with the help of the software people. That being said, as long as bids are coming in, if I were them, I wouldn't end it. I have seen auction houses end auctions manually with bids still coming in. If I were a consignor in one of those auctions I might not be that happy. Call me greedy but I want my consignments to sell for as much as they can. best regards
