I REALLY never understand sellers who put reserves on collectables. Yes, reserves are OK if you are trying to sell a 1970s Mint boxed set of Lego in an auction house in Chipping Norton on a damp n dreary Wednesday..... But this is EBay for heavens sake, it's the best place in the WORLD to realise an items true value at that point in time.

On the subject of watchers (as mentioned by Brighton Lad)..... What is an "average" for watchers? ...... I know it's not really an easy question to answer, but of 8 items finishing tonight, most "collectibles", there are 24 watchers on one, the lowest being 4 on another, with the average being 10.

The lowest figures for watchers are the non-collectibles.

How does that compare with others?

Got to agree that ebay is the best place to find out what something is truly worth (as long as you don't list it to finish at a silly end time :rolleyes:).

On the question of watchers ... I mostly sell dvd's/video games etc and find that I'm very lucky to get 4 watchers! I normally only get 1 person watching the item while it has no bids (as I start my items on 1p or 99p) and then as soon as it has a bid no-one watching. However, it will still go shooting up in the last half an hour

I used to get a bit worried about the lack of watchers in my listings but now I just expect none and every 1 that does watch is an added bonus! (Although I can imagine things being alot different for collectables)
