Explanation of EST for auction end

• Explanation of EST for auction end - 2008-03-05 03:34:47-05
  I know how confusing the different time zones are. I have family in all North American time zones and making phone calls gets tricky!
  
  EST is the actual time in places like Toronto, New York, and Miami. It is now 11:25am. Since the auction is ending at 10 pm there is about 10 1/2 hours left until auction end.
  
  When it is 10pm EST it will be:
  Toronto, 10 pm
  Chicago, 9 pm
  Sydney Australia 2pm on Thursday
  London England 3am on Thursday
  
  Hope this helps.
  Happy Bidding
