Stupid "there has been a reply" notice cost me the 10 seconds. Darn.

Top tip: you can turn this "feature" off in your profile

I also wish I knew this. I got my final bid screwed up by this too and wasn't able to get it in. Maybe it would be a better idea for auctions on here to have extended bidding, like most auction houses do to prevent situations like this. That way the bidders can decide on a fair price based on their max, rather than who was able to get the right bid in during the last few seconds.

The best auction format is the one that ends 24 or 48 hours after last bid. It is heavily used on domain forums. It's great because:

- Last second bidders are automatically out of the game

- It is much more helpful in determining the real market price of an asset

Could you expand on that a little bit? I am looking to sell off a domain...

It's an ordinary auction. The only difference is that closing time isn't set in advance but is reset everytime a bid is received. Example:

- you post a bid on March 02 at 08:21:55 AM -> if nobody bids by March 04 at 08:21:55 AM (48 hours after last bid) you win the auction

- I leave a bid on March 03 at 09:13:42 PM -> if nobody bids by March 05 at 09:13:42 PM I win the auction

I aggree with the 48-72 after last bid aucitons, however since the price of bitcoin changes a lot and some of those types of auctions can go on for weeks people might "cancel" their bids if there was a price spike. Maybe I will try it for an experiment here once.

Personally, I think rather than the 48-72 hours 15 minutes is fine. It's called "extended bidding." As long as you placed a big during the regular auction time, you're allowed to place bids after the auction end time. Auction only ends after 15 minutes with no bids. This is how many collectible auction houses run auctions.

If you choose the right minimum bidding value, the auction will not last more than 8-10 days in the worst case.

It's not a good choice: the auction could end right after the first bid because most people might not even see the auction within 15 minutes.

Alright, thanks.

15min could work for a live auction but no in a form where members are in all the different time zones of the world.
