    While seaching for a dvd I just clicked on a most watched advert on ebay and found this with 338 watchers on a buy it now item.

    Sold my Gran's silvercross pram, that had about 100 watchers.
    My brother in laws car has about 75 but never got the reserve.

    I've recently been listing some of old antiques and find that tea caddies tend to always get 40 + watchers. 51 is my record so far :)

    (Half of the regulars on here are now out trying to source antique tea caddies.) :rotfl:

    Well I believe this person had quite a few watchers on her stuff. Well, one a pram anyway...

    Once had 98 watchers and 1 bid :(

    Hope your dolls house does well, op, I sold one a few years ago, brand new still boxed. I had 27 watchers, 58 views, 10 questions and only 1 bidder who came in from shopping at the last minute and just spotted it (she told me so). Sigh!

    This could already exist but the other day I was thinking about things along a similar line to this thread - was thinking that ebay could do one of those weird and wonderfull fact books that included things like the highest amount of watchers on an item or the most expensive thing to be sold or the most re listed item. I would find it a very interesting read.

    Years ago I had about 20 watchers on a pair of New Rock boots. In the end I sold them for the same amount that I bought them for (£200). Wouldn't be seen dead in them these days :embarasse.

    My son loves his new Rock boots, it is one of the only things that it is virtually impossible to find discounted anywhere.
