Auction items close on their respective days at 11:59 PM Mountain Standard Time (MST) 

Here's the math for U.S. residents (you can simply Google the time comparison if you live somewhere else in the world) :

 Pacific Time is one hour behind mountain time; central time is one hour ahead of mountain time; eastern time is two hours ahead of mountain time so:

11:59 om MST = 10:59 pm Pacific Time = 12:59 am the next day Central Standard Time = 1:59 am the next day EST Eastern Time
