I have been to B-J indeed and I must say that it is not so much a circus as a livestock auction atmosphere. Which makes sense as the auctioneers are livestock guys... Real auctions run like Gooding, RM and Christies. I am sure the run time may have an affect but the risk was yours to take.
I think you will find that the atmosphere is fueled mostly by booze seeing as how the bidders are given 10 drinks every 8 hours as are their guests.
I agree with CSX on his point as well - the real money is there for the rare , unusual and exotic -
