Remember back in 1999 when the counter at the bottom of your auction page read over 50 hits a day, and at the end of the week you had somewhere between 200-300 hits...not to mention 15-20 bids on the item. Ah, those were the days. At least we have our memories

I would be pleased with 50 hit for the whole auction time now -- who wouldn't???

If it weren't for international customers, I'd have none at all right now! Sold four items today to overseas customers. Just had to refund a customer for an item they never rec'd. Fortunately, it wasn't too much money. But, even a small amount hurts right now.

Hear hear regarding international. I just sold 4 place settings of Buttercup silver (with a three character monogram, unfortunately).

High bidder was from Japan, paid BidPay right away - $455 plus shipping.

Second place bidder was from United Arab Emirates, and unfortunately didn't bite on the Second Chance Offer.

First American bidder was #3, at $333.

No matter how you slice it, international got me an extra $122 on this auction alone.

I think I'll discount my international shipping rates - at least their not worried about Hurricanes over there right now!

eBay was best back then. No watchlist, so people would actually bid instead.
