I'm grateful Prof Tolkien gave us an exact date of the auction; but not a lot of guidance in terms of dates. On the other hand, I love how often he keeps the timing of activities ambiguous to give us room for or own imagination :)
If he [Bilbo] was surprised, they were more surprised still. He had arrived back in the middle of an auction! There was a large notice in black and red hung on the gate, stating that on June the Twenty-second Messrs. Grubb, Grubb, and Burrowes would sell by auction the effects of the late Bilbo Baggins Esquire, of Bag-End, Underhill, Hobbiton. Sale to commence at ten o'clock sharp.
We have been there and back again.
