I could handle that if they were for small items but they were for up to $250.00 large lots of clothing. I could not believe that bidders will jump in at the last moment when they never bidder on the auction up until then, and steal the auction from bidders that very much wanted the auction from the beginning. very frusterating!

I think this also might point somewhat to the notion many people have that the online auction model is becoming outmoded. People seem more inclined to want to buy the items, go through the checkout (take things out if they wish) and pay for it, expecting it to show up in their mailbox in a reasonable period of time, the end.

Definitely something to think about in terms of e-commerce in general. :) Interesting.
