And also remember bids can go way up in last few seconds of auction cuz of like _automatic sniper fire_You've got >2 weeks. I'd expect to see most of the action in the last hour or so.
Typo $280$2880 ? Are you sure? Do you mean $288?
Amazon Prime has them brand new for $354 and Used-Like-New for $300.
Still only on freaking bid.
Should I have made it 2 weeks?[/QUOTE
Serious bidders wait till the last 8 to 10 seconds; experts wait till the last 2 seconds. Been there; done that.
Whitehaired Novice that's right! How eBay works there's no point in bidding until last moment! Also since price 2 winning bidder is always just one increment past 1'st runner up, a lot of ppl just over-bid instant b4 closing which can be vry nice for seller when _snipers_ collide I know cuz I used 2 collect SK lamps (which sold for like $200 in mint condition) so I always bid $10k to block snipers but twice I paid high ($5k and $8k) cuz (other) snipers had same idea But when u think on it, worth of item is personal which can be way more than just fmv so it pays 2b good sport cuz after all when that happens ur still paying lowest possible price 2 win auction!Serious bidders wait till the last 8 to 10 seconds; experts wait till the last 2 seconds. Been there; done that.
Spinnaker I say pro is greater exposure and con is strain on bidder's & seller's patience! But as inveterate _eBayer_ I say putting _Buy It Now_ option on listing is very good idea cuz a lot of ppl are totally happy to pay high just 2 have it w/o hassle of bidding! So speaking just for myself that's totally how I prefer 2 buy on Ebay but it's good idea to set BIN price to at least three times what UR realistically hoping for from winning bid! So maybe that's more applicable 2 collectables and limited availability items but I say some ppl go crazy on auctions buying things for more than new price! Anyhow GOOD LUCK!I think 2 week bids are a mistake.
I didn’t look at your auction but I’ve sold a lot of stuff on eBay. I’m always careful to end my auctions at a convenient time for buyers, such as Sunday afternoon. All the action, if there is any, happens in the last minutes and you want that to fall at a convenient time.Still only on freaking bid.

Yes I know Sunday is the best to end an auction but I did not want to start on New Years Eve so I started on Saturday.I didn’t look at your auction but I’ve sold a lot of stuff on eBay.

Until then, all you really have is the count of watchers. The buyer is likely to come from that pool and if nobody is watching, a sale is unlikely. You always want a starting price you can live with in case only one buyer comes along.
That's why you put a reserve price on something. The lowest possible price you would let it go for. That way you are protected with a low starting price on a big ticket item.The problem with putting too high a starting price is that you can scare off bidders. People do tend to get into a bidding frenzy so if you can just get them started the price could go well beyond what you expected you would get for the item.

I do too, but it can be better than letting a $$$$$ item go for $$. And that's what will happen if there isn't many bids.I hate when people do that. That is why I don't do it.
4 bids already! And up $5.30 from the first bid!Still only on freaking bid.

Agreed. EBay can be strange. I’ve seen people bid up used computers to more than what a new one costs. And I’ve seen bidding so light that the winner walks away with a heck of a bargain. There’s no predicting what can happen.You can now buy a brand new one for $299. So I guess I did good considering.
