[Boatanchors] auction time linked to what timing source?

[Rob Atkinson]

The practice of swooping in out of nowhere in the last few seconds
when others have faithfully put in a bid an hour or days earlier in my
opinion stinks.

If you were in a flea market holding a Lakeshore Limited Bandhopper
and looking at it and talking about a price to the seller and someone
rushed up and gave the guy money and grabbed it away from you I bet
you'd be pretty hacked off.  This is the same thing.

It might be okay for dime a dozen stuff but for a rare hard to get
item I find this practice deplorable.  I hope everyone syncs to the
eBay clock so as to be there to thwart these last second grab attempts
from bottom feeders.
