For the typical high-quality good stuff we sell all the time on eBay, we're putting them up for 10 days. Ten cents is still a 60% discount over their usual fee.
For the "junk" that didn't sell all year, we put a bottom dollar price and list it for the free 7 days. Doesn't cost us anything and it might sell.
Items that we have multiples of, I will list on the 3 day auction in addition to the 10 days. These would only be items that usually sell with buy-it-now. I wouldn't count on a lot of actual "bidding" going on this weekend.
