Could some of you please tell me how sales were last year over the Thanksgiving holiday? Do auctions ending on the Friday Saturday & Sunday of the weekend do well or poorly?
Thanks.

Well, I don't know about "backed up by knowledge" but my sales did fine over Thanksgiving last year.

People get sick of their in-laws, can't eat another bite & have overdosed on turkey, so they lock themselves in w/their PC. I know I use the "LOVE to stay & talk but need to go bid on an item on ebay" excuse to get away from MY in-laws.

This year, I'm running "specials" over Thanksgiving..lots of my usual items marked down & preparing to kick off the Christmas buying season..though a huge number of my customers seemed to have already kicked it off.

Some do well over the holidays, others don't do so good. There's no perfect formula. Sorry..

I have had luck the last two years on the Thanksgiving weekend. Once the gang goes home, what better way to unwind than get on ebay and buy something!
