Tommy, I am giving you and *EVERY *other non-U.S. buyer a real chance to have what you want earlier (ending times)!
I have scheduled an auction of 850 rolled non-U.S. posters from many countries to run from Sunday 3/23 to 3/30, and an auction of 999 folded non-U.S. posters and lobby cards from many countries to run from Sunday 4/6 to 4/13! These auctions will close starting four hours ahead of when they would have if they had been held on Tuesdays instead, as they normally are. I would certainly hope that you can see that this is a really fair test of whether having earlier ending times makes it better for our non-U.S. buyers, and the proof will be whether or not those auctions do as well or better on Sundays than they would have done on Tuesday. After both of the above auctions are over, I will review the results, and if they did at least as well as they would have on Tuesdays, then I will start holding most auctions containing non-U.S. posters on Sundays, so that you guys can bid four hours earlier. So please you (and all other non-U.S. buyers who want earlier ending times, mark those dates on your calendars and be sure to bid!).
