Good point Retropin. Everyone jumping the gun and making assumptions. 

So I'll make an assumption too.  I assume while the auction is on, the Expo will still be on in the next hall/room? So for those who aren't interested in the auction they can just stay in the Expo hall. Or is that another false assumption?

I wouldn't assume that - there appears to be a definite break in the program while the auction is on.

But we'll see.
