FWIW I don't think you should change auction terms after starting. It's not like you can get everyone's consent.
Since I got 1 complaint, I will not change the auction terms. FWIW consent is not needed by everyone, because it doesn't affect everyone. if you planned to come back to within an hour to bid, the change doesn't affect it. It only affects new bids that happen near the end and those bidders should have already read the new rules. There's a slight chance it will affect some that thought the auction will likely last hours, so they went to sleep. And if they wake up to find that the auction ended quickly due to a last minute rule change, they might be pissed. Anyways, auction rule will remain unchanged for this auction. Sorry

There's no need to wait til last minute, because it's not like you can snipe the auction when it delays it by another hour. So if you want to bid, it would make sense to bid right away.

This is not allowed. If there's any collusion going on, I would be forced to cancel the auction.

This! something similar is going on when online poker tournament is nearing the end, many players delay their actions to let others drop out/deblind

Maybe we should just combine our efforts? Coblee would you be willing to sell us each a roll at 78 since you have multiple rolls?

This is going to be a long fu**ing night. You really want to make me waste more BTC every hour on the hour?

It's how the auction has been set up, it's an endurance test, if he hadn't bid then someone else would have, OP loses out as most ppl with this much spare cash need to better allocate their time to other things like earning or spending it, but it's how it is...

And just for reference. A series one single coin just went for 3.5BTC in the auction thread. So keep in mind resell is approaching worthless.
On Ebay these coins are no longer as hot as they were. They are selling for around $500 (3.57 BTC current price)
Also taking payment via paypal caused my account to be locked down with $3700 still locked inside because they hate BTC and say I am acting as a money service business which violates policy.
Oh and yes I am very much trying to discourage you from bidding any further because I am prepared to go higher and don't feel like waiting up.

Yup. It's a shame.
