How long for an auction is too long?

Yeah I could never figure out why auction companies run auctions for a month even three weeks is too long with social media and emails and everything anymore there's all kinds of ways for the auction companies to let you know the auctions are running and when they end. It almost is a negative when they run it for a month because you end up forgetting about in between the first week they put it on and the last week it runs. I wish they would all run them for at least two weeks at the most. I see absolutely no reason to drag it out for a month. Nobody benefits and the consignor wants to sell his item and get his money as son as he can. I personally stay away from an auction that runs a month because by the time you initially send your item in till the time you get paid it's almost 3 months
