BEST day to finish an auction?

I always get my auctions to finish on a Sunday - put them on a 10 day listing to finish on a Sunday - then people looking at weekends have more chance of seeing my items?!

I get mine to end Monday or Tuesday as its just easier for me to post the item the day after. Always end them after 5pm.

My OH buys a lot of things on ebay, and he told me that Mondays and Tuesdays are very quite, so he got most of his bargains on these days when not many people looked/ placed bets.

Start on a Thursday on a 10 day listing to end on a Sunday. I find that if you list items on Turbo Lister then they all end within seconds of each other & buyers can't bid on/buy more than one item in the last minute where if you leave a few minutes between similar items it helps. I have auctions end any time on a Sunday & always had good results.

I've had quite a lot of BIN items for sale recently, some with multiples on the listing - I've analysed the times and days that people have bought (yes, I DO need to get a life :eek: ).

Children's clothes - had 6 items on one BIN listing - 4 were bought in mid-morning, 2 in mid-afternoon, all on weekdays. All bought by females - buying whilst the kids are at school? Listed another 6 with very similar results.

Camera equipment - 5 items, separate listings, all started as BIN/auction. 4 were bought on BIN at lunchtime by guys, the 5th late afternoon. Men at work, on lunch hours/just about to finish work?

Classical CDs on auctions - I find that the day makes little difference, but late (10pm - midnight) finishes get the highest prices. Music lovers with insomnia? lol!

You can all fall asleep now I've bored you to death.
