Okay, I have got one bid all week. Plenty of lookers so I will probably get bids near the end (I hope anyway). What happened to all the newbie early bidders?

Is it just me?????

not just you.....I watched a 10 day auction do nothing (and I mean NOTHING) up until the last 40 minutes, which was at night...I gave up and went to bed!!! The next morning, I got up thinking "well, that didnt sell!!" It had jumped from $9.00 to $45.00 in the last 40 minutes or less of the auction, so who knows what the deal is?

I don't end auctions this week because people get their week vacation now in extension of the 4th of July weekend.

The real problems will arise when the LATE bidders are on vacation!

Ive seen the same thing - I believe its because of the proxi biddings vulnerability to hit n run bidders the serious bidders are afraid to put an early proxi amount on an item - I think the trend is for real time bidding at the last min. Who knows for sure ?
Good Luck
