This is the silliest thread ever, even considering the source. Every auction house sets, and publishes their own rules for bidding. If you don't like them, don't use that house. You said it yourself, many items show up in future auctions anyway.
In the meantime, you should inure yourself to the fact that those rules are written to be of maximum benefit to the CONSIGNOR, not to you. If getting maximum value for the consignor inteferes with your sleeping habits, so be it.
Coming on, a day after the auction, and saying you would have paid more, doesn't really make you a bidder.
