I know this subject has been covered lots in the past but seems like sales are really slow right now, so was wondering if anyone had found they get more bids at a paticular time or day. I have had good luck on thursday evenings in the past but last night I had 8 items end and only 3 sold..one got 2 bids and there others got 1 bid. Most of the items had several watches. I guess its the economy but sure would like to find a way to get more bids (guess everyone would huh).

never had a set time...nowadays with those lovely "sniping" programs, what difference does it make. Everyone waits to the last 30 seconds or less to bid. Add the factor that the US Dollar is dropping so much, my international orders have tripled.

I have mainly unique items, so I just need to kick myself in the butt and list MORE. Especially in the diecast and toy categories (60 days or so til Christmas)...gotta get typing.

I think maybe the fact that I haven't been accepting international bids may be some of my problem. Think I will go and change that right now and see if I get more bids. Thanks!!

I find that the last week of the month is always my best. I end later at night - mostly on Thursday.
