Well my email said it ended at after 12:00. Maybe it was then I just think 12 hours of extended bidding is about 8 hours longer than it needs to be.

It was very clear that the close was going to be at 12 am sharp as bids were coming in at 20-30 per minute right up until the end

At the very end they should have said they decided to keep it open 5 more minutes. Can you imagine those 5 minutes of bids?

As a seller, I was watching the pace of the bids and thinking the same thing lol.

Then just say its a hard close at midnight and forget the 6:00 thing, then I will just wait until 11:58 and place my bid. That is what I will do next time, just snipe then like eBay.

But I do think 12 hours of extended bidding is a bit much after its been online for what 3-4 weeks?

If we all keep "bitching" for the next 5 years like Steve we can probably get auction closes to a format that makes us all happy campers

Never will happen but we will keep bitching for sure.

Ha. Perhaps Steve is the Ralph Nader of the baseball card industry, and we will one day celebrate the reforms he ushered in through his activism.
