I recall they also had a prewar auction ending during the Superbowl earlier this year also. Maybe not exactly the same, but I did find it odd (and annoying as a bidder), and prices didn't seem as strong as they could have been. Doesn't seem to be a lot of foresight into the ending dates/times. I would certainly be frustrated as a consignor.

I don't think sniping programs can realistically help with this from the consignors' perspective because I think the percentage of eBay bidders who use them is probably still pretty small. Also, they can be tough to use during PWCC auctions because you can end up winning a bunch of items within a matter of seconds, which can be a problem from a budgeting perspective. I've used snipe programs a few times, but rarely during those types of constantly-ending auctions. If there were a program that let you cancel all remaining snipes once you hit a certain budget, then maybe...
