Auction ends in less than 2.5 hours unless extended by a valid bid. Each valid bid extends the auction to 1 hour after that bid. If any of this is unclear, please ask me.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) 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.
