I'd like it if there wasn't a time on the interface and it just said Days, then Today, then Soon, then About To End. They'd still have to time it and probably have an extension honestly but bidders couldn't see exactly when it was over. And I should probably make a suggestion post for that.

Did these auctions end while people were still bidding at the auction house you worked at? If so that is a strange auction house.

Well an auction house that has a set start time and a definite ending time could be categorized as a brothel, no?

I suppose a silent auction has a hard event end but I dont believe live or verbal auctions end at a specific time. I thought they ended when bids stop coming.

Because it is the internet a longer grace period is given between non bids (3 minutes) to ensure no advantage is given to people with the fastest internet connection. Players should go to the highest bidder, not be some kind of game of chicken to see who can bid a half second before a hard finish. Not about the best and fastest mouse clicker, which is what it would denegrate to if a hard time finish was implemented.

I've been to plenty live auctions and they do not have a static end time. Silent Auctions are about the only auctions besides ebay like this that I know of...

As a seller you would also prefer the bids to continue to climb. It works both ways.
