    Sunday is usually the better day, but if you have a lot of items why not give both days a try and see which works better for you...it's been so long since I tried a Saturday that I might be wrong.

    I have found Thursday is the biggest day, so maybe wait till next Thursday? Or put a 10 day on it on Monday?
    7-9pm is busiest time.

    For example, seen laptops go for £500 at 8pm
    £300 at 1am.
    Great for a buyer :)
    Big loss for a seller :(
  • I would list in the evening as people spend more time on the computer in the evenings;)
    DFW no.630!
  • The only days I let my auctions finish on are sunday and thursday.

    Obviously these things vary, but from my experience sunday is the best day.

    Also, if on thursday I would list my items at around 9:00 and for sundays I would start them at around 7:30.

    You have to take into consideration the date aswell, as some people are paid monthly so they may be running low on funds towards the end of the month.
