Anyone have any ideas about when the better auction ending times are? Or what days of the week work best? I am trying to figure that out but so far its been sporadic for me.

I tend towards Sundays at 8pm PST. Not too early for the West coasters and right before the 11pm news for the west coasters.

I have found that the "better days of the week" are not the same in all seasons! Weekends were great times to end auctions in the Winter but I am finding that weekdays are better in the summer IMHO at least.

Yeah, weekends seem to be best. I get impatient though and want to launch auctions as soon as they are done. Surprizingly, have found some doing good middle of the week during the day! Must be college students or stay-at-homers.

I never do good on week-ends. I always avoid having my auctions end on Saturday or Sunday, at all costs. I do very poorly on these days. I also don't do well on Thursdays.
My best days are M-W and Friday. I try to end auctions between 1 and 5 in the afternoon or between 7 and 9 at night (central time).
I frequently watch to see when I get bids, and it is usually in the afternoon or evenings. I rarely get any bids on a week-end. Most of my customers are bidding from work.

I avoid Friday and Saturday. Monday through Thursday and Sunday evening seem to work best for me, around 7pm (I'm in the Mountain time zone).
