Does anyone have a time table for any of the "Time Left" times?

I know that "Very Short" is between 1 min and (guessing here) 4 hrs
Short I was thinking is between 4 hrs and 8 hrs
Medium 8-16 hrs
Long 16-32 hrs
Very Long 32-48 hrs

Is this about right? Anyone have a true time frame?

Maybe there is an entry on the wiki I havent seen or its posted here in the forums that I am missing, if thats the case, I apologize for sounding dumb, and please link me to the right spot.

Thanks so much! =)

very short: guess

i can't give you the very short for protection from any last minute bidder,
though the very long to short is pretty much accurate.

banas had it right. "Very

banas had it right. "Very Short" is 5 minutes or less, but if anyone makes a bid during the "Very Short" period it resets to 5 minutes again. Have fun with your bidding war!

It doesn't reset

I doesnlt reset, at least not to 5 minutes. It appears that 30-45 seconds get added to the end time, at least from what I have observed and timed out. It definitely doesn't default to five minutes though (if you watch the front page that would mean that a newly bidded auction would cycle to the end of the very short list which would be multiple pages back but it only gets pushed back a few auction listings)
