Not a plug in any way whatsoever, but when we first started RMY Auctions we had the traditional closing times as others, letting the 15 minute rule end the auction. Our first auction went to 6:30 am the next morning and I knew something had to change as it was just crazy. I like my sleep as much as the next guy and we started the 15 minute rule with a hard closing time if it goes to that point and could not be happier. Extended bidding still runs for around 6 hours to thin the herd but you know exactly when the auction will close and everyone gets some sleep. I was worried when we first started doing it that somehow we would regret it, but for us it has been a win-win for everyone involved. Just my 2 cents as I also hate the all night thing from a bidders standpoint.
