Typical Bidding Patterns

I've not used Ebay for a long time but have just put a few items up for sale.  They are fairly unusual things and I didn't get much idea of their value from searching for completed items, so started them at a low price.

All of them received a few offers and then some bids.  This was all overnight - the auctions started in the evening.  In the couple of days since this initial flurry nothing more has happened although they each have a few watchers.

I was wondering if that is likely to be it or should I expect more activity as the auction approaches its end?  Are there typical patterns to bidding?

Normal.
You get the chancers/dealers at the beginning,  they look at the newly listed items with low starts and put a low bid on just on the off chance they win it at a bargain price.

You should notice the numbers of watchers go up as the days go by then you'll get the rest of the bids in the last few minutes/seconds of the auction.

Normally the bids come in near the end. Some of the watchers could be people with the same things to sell and checking to see what your items go for.
