    I don't mean to be a humbug but bare in mind that they get thousands more listings when they do things like this which means your items have alot more competition and therefore you might not get such high prices as at any other time.

    And listing fees are on pennies as they charge the high whack fees on the final price.

    If you list at a price you're happy to sell at,then it's all good,item sold,no insertion fees,win win.

    Do remember that I think you get the first 80 listings per month free if you list at a starting price of 99p anyway, so if you are prepared to take a gamble on the finishing price there is no reason to wait for the free listing weekends, and you woul dhave less competition.
