Unusual ending auction times
Anyone here ever forgot to bid on something because the auction ended at an unusual time?
About a month and a half ago I forgot to bid on something because it ended around 7:30 PM Pacific Time on YJ. I completely forgot about it. I remembered about 9:30PM after it was over. Oops!~

All the time, mostly for two reason. Reason one is that I live in Alaska so when an auction might end around eight o'clock on the east coast it is four my time. The second reason is my work schedule. I work days, evenings, and grave yard shifts every week. So when an auction ends when I am at work and I want to bid on my phone either I forget or I get to busy to do anything about it. Oh and working all of these crazy hours also throws off my dates.

I forget to bid on stuff all the time, mostly because I'm usually super-busy. Sometimes I'll worry so much about forgetting that I'll put in a token bid early. Once I forgot that I even did that, and was disapointed that I forgot to bid... until I got the winning notice a few hours later! Oops.

Aussie time is about the same to japan. Morning time when the auction end to you so by having a guess what time in the usa to you about 7,8 or 9 am if the auction ends around midnight?Keropi wrote:I've seen some auctions lately that end 2:06AM to 2:15 AM Japan time. That's good for me if I'm not working, but it's not good for most people in Japan.

With Daylight Savings Time here it would be sixteen hours behind. So a midnight auction would be 8AM in California.Massacrist Manslayer wrote:Aussie time is about the same to japan.

When an auction ends 4AM out here you wonder whether it's worth bidding before going to sleep.

Wanna LOL me ?
Usually auction ends at 4 or 5 PM, and I often have my wife that cook cakes and a delicious coffee, so I trink coffee and totally forgot about the auction.
