Yeah...........in da olden days, those of us on the west coast, and Hawaii, had a real advantage.
New stuff came on at midnight EST, 9pm for us, dinner time for Conan, and we could get our "bubble" bids in easily, quickly and early, by bookmarking the lots we wanted to bid on............I miss those days.
Then some of the east coasters started whining about it, so they started pushing the start times out to 6am EST.
Now? Don't know what they're doing.
