Auction Closing Formats

[Archive]

Posted By: Mark

Perhaps this topic has been discussed earlier. But I am relatively new to this board, and haven't seen it posted yet...

How do you feel about the auction closing format that Mastro has instituted? Does anyone else miss the ability to jump over to alternate lots, once a given lot has gone beyond your limit?

I have limited funds, and when I used to get outbid late, it was nice to be able to jump to a different item that was still within reach. Mastro's new closing format (with each lot closing individually) does not afford the bidder this opportunity. Once it becomes evident you need to switch, the "alternate" lot has already closed.

Let's see a vote on which closing format is preferred... Mastro/Huggins/Hunt type or Lelands/Grey Flannel/REA type. My vote is for the latter...
