So auction times: Real time or Game time? Normally the two are the same except for tuesday. When I post an auction monday night, does it expire 24hrs after I post it or 24hrs + downtime?

I always got the gut feeling that it was realtime... so 24hrs after I post. If that was the case, auctions kinda get screwed... especially on patch days when the servers are down for longer periods of time.

I guess I'll try a test next monday night. I'll toss a piece of strange dust on the AH for 1000g. Not deposit lost, and no one in their right mind will buy it. I'll take note of when I post it, and when I see the 'auction expired' message the following day. If it's at the same time or 5ish hours later.

auction timers run when the servers are down. This is why you bid on items just before maint no competition :D
