10 bucks on the wagner lol

10pm sounds reasonable, and we could put that next to the title of the forum if it helps.....but unless folks put the day that it ends, in the title too, won't you still have to click the thread to see the end time?

I was thinking that if everyone abided by the 10P (EST) close then the only thing that would have to be in the title was the close day/date and item description(s).

Exactly. It would be up to the seller to make sure the date is on the title, or it automatically drops to the bottom of the pack. BTW, I'm all for a standardized ending time. I remember one from a while back that had an ending time of midnight, and I got a little confused about when in ended. Because, depending on who's interpreting it, midnight could either be the start of a day, or the end of it... It's really no big deal, but it's just another reason a standardized ending time would be great..

Maybe, if Date is mandatory as the first thing listed on auction titles, you could find a way to set the auction page to sort by that, rather than by last post..

10/30-XXXXXX
10/30-YYYYYY
11/02-ZZZZZZ

Maybe I'm overthinking this though? Maybe a standardized ending time is all we really need?
