(Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's an auction site to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault)
Okay...maybe I made a stupid move running a close second to my third marriage..
I swore I was walking away from Yahoo tonight as my last round closed, but this is what I did...
(Don't know the reason,
Posted on Yahoo all season
With nothing to show but this brand new Pootah)
I reviewed those items that closed with no bids. Those that had an unusual high number of views I reposted for another week, along with those that had one or more "bookmarks" (added to someone's watchlists).
(Nibblin' on baked crow,
watchin' the bids close;
All of those buyers covered with bills.
Strummin' my six string
on my front porch swing)

And we wax nostalgic. I just went and checked on my last auctions. They are all closed and I notified the final winners. Now it all seems so final and sad. I guess it's time to say goodnight and look at my bids on AuXpal in the morning. Maybe it will be better than.

I guess it's in my blood. My ancestors didn't even want to call it quits at Appomattox. Fortunately I guess, we had a Lee to drive home the fact that The End means THE END.
But I guess I'll decide next Sunday. I reposted only about 25% or less. Again, they were items that closed with no bids but had an unusually high numbers of views, or one or more tags for people's Watch Lists.
Just hoping maybe they didn't bid because it got away from them too fast or they forgot.

If I had people who put the auction on the watch list I may have listed them auctions for another week too.
But as far as the unusually high veiw count yahoo last week was haveing a bit of a glitch and some of the counter are showing inflated veiws off 200 and 500 that are false counts.
I pay little attention to the yahoo counter as it as well counts the same person over and over.
I have AW counter on many of my yahoo auctions the AW smart counter are reading 4 and 5 veiws while yahoo counter are readinf 301 this alone tells me yahoo had a problem.
Im not saying at all your waisting time at yahoo listing I dont believe that at all but to list the lower start bid items .50 to $2 items just wont work no more.

I hate to tell you Rebelguns that sometimes they don't restart the Watchlist counter. I've had "hangover" count on them before. Anyway, good luck. Hope you can make expenses. Also hope you'll bring a few of the slower ones over to Auxpal and help us fill it up.

Well, if I do or don't make expenses, it will at least provide me with some more definitive direction as to what to do.
Closing at the last minutes last night with a second week of record sales at Yahoo confused me utterly as to what course to take.
I decided to move out most of my postings to elsewhere, but leave anything behind for another round if there had been a rather high rate of interest shown a particular item, hoping whomever et it slip by would tag it with a bid by next Sunday.
The outcome of this should provde me with a final battleplan.
