I suppose your attitude on this depends on whether you're a seller or buyer. As a seller, with many items of MOPOBID, the idea is fine with me  -- I mentioned to JR in a private e-mail that iGavel uses a 5 minute extension. As a buyer, though, it's not something I would like. Bruce's auctions ha

I know we all speak from our own perspective but yours, Claude, is so much different from the average eBay user's that it's essentially saying "do what's best for me, forget about everyone else". As someone who isn't sufficient wealthy to be able to buy any poster (or other item) I want, as someon
