Auctions that drag on forever, often into the next day-break are definitely a problem; but on the other hand, so are auctions that end too soon.

For example, a recent auction had what was essentially a 15 minute-long extended bidding period. I put in bids on over two dozen items during normal bidding; then in extended bidding, there was simply not enough time to increase my bids on the items I was most interested in. I won three lots, but there were three other lots that ended a minute or two before I got to them. Interestingly, all six items ended at what most would consider low winning bids.

Auctions need to give bidders enough time to bid, but not drag on forever.
