Answer is...
Start your own auction house and set the rules to appeal to everyone. Good luck with that. It is what it is, don't like it then move on to Heritage only, BST here or ebay. So much whining lately.

Why is expressing an opinion whining? Please explain. I thought expressing opinions was the point of these boards.

This. I guess the answer is when that opinion is not shared by the other person, which is also pretty silly. Wasn't his post whining?

Yep. Same kind of idiocy that has swept the country. Shorthand for I don't share your opinion.
Usually presented in some pseudo enlightened "I'm above all this" voice like this dude. Care about what I care about? Heroic. Feel some other way? Whining. |

If I didn't always have to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I'd lose a lot more auctions

And if the rules were different he might have adjusted his strategy accordingly and still won. And by your logic, maybe Al should have run it until 10AM today to pick up more guys who woke up later than Dan only to find they were shut out of Memory Lane. In fact, why ever end it, there always could be one more bid.

Makes to much sense to have all the bidders at their computer with a firm time of when the 15or 20 minute clock will start on each lot. Having all active bidders ready and logged in should create bidding wars. Yes HA, Huggins and Scott, Brockleman, and even Hunt have figured this out with closing lots individually.
Nothing like giving an advantage to West Coast collectors. Hope everyone uses the optional text messaging for when you are outbid. Nothing like getting woke up at 4 or 5 AM saying you've been outbid.

I know the AH response is always "put in a max bid and you have nothing to worry about". But I'm generally not happy putting in max bids. Many times they have worked out fine, but I don't love putting a marker down that I will pay hundreds or even thousands more that the then winning bid. Not saying anyone isn't honest but, well, there are people in this business I don't trust as far as I can throw them. Not Al C. who a fair player and an excellent all around dude.

I won something too. That doesn't make the closing time any less ridiculous.
