I learned the hard way long ago that alcohol and on-line auctions don’t mix. The one lot on which I bid seriously went while I was in dreamland. Disappointing but so be it. It’s the best way for me to maintain at least a modicum of discipline.

East Coast gets the National every year, West Coast gets 3 hours more sleep on auction night.

Seems like a fair trade.

Agree... I like the current format. Everyone is in bed, with no distractions during "crunch time".

I never win much in the Saturday night auctions... that's the night we are always out doing something, and my ceiling bids rarely hold up. So Sunday is just fine with me!

It has been awhile since I have seriously bid on a card in a major auction. It is just too late for me. I don’t do max bids unless just after one card because then I might win multiple and only had the budget for one.


Phil, you can have National on West coast if the auctions end 3 hours earlier.

Default Bidding
I put my last bid in at 12:37 and went to bed at 12:53. While I was waiting to see if my bid would get topped, I looked through the auction and a great number of lots had closed by 12:20. I would be curious what the actual stats are. The one auction I feel comfortable putting in my maximum early is REA. However, I do enjoy the thrill of bidding on an item after midnight and waiting to see if have to stay up another 15 minutes or not.

Hake’s closes all of their auctions exactly like Steve suggested with extended bidding starting at 9pm and lots closing individually using the 15 minute rule. It’s been that way for about 4 years now. You’re welcome…..
