Yeah, we had a lot of these discussions about three years ago and it looks like many auctionhouses have moved to earlier times to accommodate those concerns.

Seems like an awful lot of flipping going in with signed cards and others. Many cards with record sales in the past few months headed back to the auction block

I've always assumed they picked closing times to make them less than attractive to bidders as a way to encourage aggressive "max" bidding by everybody who goes to sleep before midnight, figuring that the bidders who prefer to slug it out to the wire will stay up anyway. If your objective was simply to maximize the number of real-time/deadline bidders, you would end before 11:00 ET. But they (out of loyalty to consigners) are trying to get both: strong "max" bids from early-risers AND frantic extended-time bidding by the vampires.

How “long” does the extended bidding usually go? The REA offering tonight is loaded so I assume there will be some extremely drawn out bidding.
I’ve only “set it and forget it” bid on lower end items and checked back the next day to see what happened in the past. However there’s a few mid range offerings tonight I’d really like to purchase. Should I wake up at 4am and check and rebid or will that be too late? |
