I recently started being an Auctioneers assistant and before that went to a couple of Auctions. My Auctioneer and I ALWAYS look at the schedule when asked to plan a new Auction allowing time between Auctions for buyers and sellers to move to another Auction they may be taking part in. I have seen a few Auctioneers who have stretched an Auction to almost 2 hrs long. And this is what it comes down to, mutual respect for each other, not trying to stick the boot in, leaving your Ego's tucked up in bed and doing what's best and right for the buyers and sellers of EACH Auction.
I attended Miza's Auction at ~Chateu Village~ the other week and people who were selling where late to the Auction because another Auctioneer ran over with there's. If your going to have an Auction cheek the schedule and allow "wiggle room" either side. The schedule also needs updating regularly. The schedule I see still has Raine posted on Monday's and Fridays. Raine vanished from SL a few months ago and hasn't been heard from since.
Even though I am a newer breeder and have only been in the Auctioning game for a little time, I see that it's a Respect thing. Respect each other's time slots, consult the schedule, allow for time wherever possible in between slots, do what's best for the buyer/seller and leave Ego's at home. I do not cast a shadow on any Auctioneers name or reputation nor single any one person out, these are just my opinions and can be taken with a pinch of salt if desired.
Always a KittyCatS! lover
