I think Tom is suggesting that it is an advantage to sellers to end
auctions at *peak* times such as Friday night, rather than *off-peak*
times. I don't see any particular reason to think that this would result
in higher selling prices, although I am not suggesting that anyone needs
to spend time teasing this out of the data either. -Linda
