Of course there can be exceptions, but if all auctioneers would respect the other auctioneers, just like they would be respected themselfes they would do everything to keep their auction time within the scheduled time, that is why there is an schedule after all.

But for me the most important thing is working together and not against eachother, the market is difficult at the moment, but only with good cooperation and agreements we can help eachother and help the community.

I would like to point out that auctions are not all about how fast they are done. I have had some great time and enjoyed myself as breeder and seller on auctions that lasted up to 2 hours. They were educative, entertaining and manage to get people to forget how much time passed and how long it took on a panel.
I am not type who prefers to see fast auctions and just a quick read through on the kitty, I like auctioneer noticing my or someone elses hard work on the kitty, and give at least more than few mins informing us how hard was it to manage such combination of traits, what could we possibly see and so on. but that's just my personal opinion I of course understand not everyone wants or can devote so much time, but for what im getting in that time, I make it an effort to try and stay for whole event, cant say its only an auction, it sure is more like event.

i am also against any restrictions and set of rules for the auctioneers and their times, if an auctioneer is good they will have people attending be it 10 mins, 50 mins or 3 hours. theres reason why people keep returning. Im sure no one would love to have their time at same time as someone and then have their auction half empty, if they want so, why should anyone stop them from doing it? I know when we as sim look for times for events and auctions we look because we dont want our events or auctions empty, not because we have a set of rules telling us so, its just a simple common sense that makes a community healthy

this is not going directly at anyone, just a share of my personal opinion
