Ebay:What's the highest number of watchers you've had?
Comments

I tried to buy a snowboard last year, which had 76 people watching, and jumped from about £50 to £200 in the last few minutes!! Way above what I wanted to pay, so I wasn't the winner!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
I wonder if we'll get anyone from a listing that's been highlighted on here for some reason, saying they've had 1657 watchers or something similar, but only a couple of bidders.0

A few years ago I had 74 watchers on a teddy bear which went to an Australian bidder. The buyer paid with a padded envelope full of £10 notes which arrived a few weeks later. :jI was convinced they were fake and took them to the bank before I posted item but they were all real.

Earlier this year I listed a guitar and had 197 watchers - sold for a great price as well!
I've also listed a couple of motorbikes in the past with 100+ watchers.0 -
I think my best was 63 watchers for a pair of denim shorts?! Nothing exciting, just some Topshop shorts. Went for £16 in the end.0

I've only started using ebay this week, and I'm on my second attempt at selling! My dress currently has 5 people watching but still only a single 0.99p bid so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they decide to bid in the next 14 hours. :S
Good luck selling your dollhouse, hopefully you'll get a good outcome.

As already stated, goofbay!!!
It'll even tell you what sort of offers a seller has accepted, so you know where to aim for!
I love goofbay!!
(very useful when you're planning a last minute bid, particularly if there's LOTS watching!)Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
