Okay, 71 last bid. Not, because I wouldn't bid more, but because I need sleep   Angry

If people need to go and would like someone to help proxy bid, I can do that.
Basically, PM with the maximum bid you are willing to bid, I and will help you bid until either you win or the bid has passed your max bid.
And if there's any doubt, forum moderators can confirm the PMs. I think that's fair, right?

Sleep for 7 hours, it may be still going strong if ppl snipe every hr after 24:00 UTC.

Maybe the best thing to do is a silent auction. Have everyone send me their max bid. When the auction is over, the winner is the first person that sent me the highest max bid, and he only needs to pay the 2nd highest bid + the increment. No stress, no staying up, but total surprise. Smiley

Might consider it if I do another auction.

btw, extending for  1 hr is excessive imo, if someone is interested in bidding 5 or max 10 minutes is plenty, better still 2 mins as Casascius successful auctions or it could drag out for ever & many ppl aren't going to devote that much time to checking it every hour I expect if it gets bumped by last min bids.

I agree. I think it's too late for this auction. I might change it for my other auctions.

We have people from all over the world, so it's not possible to please everyone. I wonder what's the best time to end an auction.

If in doubt, go for USA, I guess. Also depending on where you yourself are located, obviously.

3 day and a fixed end time. Bid what your willing to bid, if not you lose. Whether its an hour or 15 min extensions there is snipping.

Future reference most people have ADD. Waiting a week for an auction to end them extending it by an hour for every bid is exhausting and makes people lose interest. I totally forgot it was ending today.

If the auction is only 3 days, people might not hear about it. And if there's no bid delay, then people won't bid normally and will all try to snipe at the last second. So what's a better way?
