It'd be a nice option for the seller to have.  Either the seller can
have the auction end at an exact time, end some random number of seconds
before or after an exact time, or be extended by 5 minutes every time
there's a bid in the last 5 minutes of the auction.

It wouldn't be any dumber than reserve auctions.  Reserves piss me off
so badly that I won't bid on any item with a reserve, purely on
principle.
