British Summer time - reminder to launch your auctions an hour earlier

apprentice_tycoon

I always have my auctions finish between 8 and 9pm on Saturdays and Sundays except for twice a year when I forget about the clocks going back and they are an hour wrong on the relevant Sunday - this time I'm going to get it right so the ones I launch this Sunday will be started between 7 and 8pm so that they end at the right time.

Do you think you acieve the best price when ending at those times?

The stuff I sell will appeal to a middle aged buyer anywhere in the world so I have to try and find a time that will be in daytime primarily in the UK, USA and Australia so the 8-9 evening slot is breakfast time in Australia and it's afternoon in the USA.
I have weekend auctions because it just seems more likely that my buyers are going to be home then and because my stuff won't appeal to a teenager I'm not too worried that Saturday night UK time is when they are all out on the town.
Apart from all of that it suits me best too - I have all my sales go off in one chunk (apart from shop items which are totally random) and then I spend the next 2 days packing and posting and the rest of the week is for buying and listing

Thanks AT, I would not have remembered to do that - in fact, come to think of it - I didn't I listed a few things on Thursday and now they are going to finish earlier than I expected.

Ho hum.
