Maybe.
If I recall correctly, not too many years ago, most, if not all Quickies came on line a bit after midnight, EST. Suqed for those eastern folks, west coasters feasted on those bids, especially on work nights.
Then, more recently, cbid started bringing on more Quickies later in the morning EST......3am, 5am 9am, 11am etc.
But this new phenomena is interesting..........9pm EST start times? Closing 3 hours later?
My guess it's to give the "working person".....on both coasts, a chance of getting in early on a Quickie bid.
More likely though, cbid just wants more bidding activity.
