Anyone else have a slow Friday evening selling on eBay?

I normally have eBay auctions on Friday and Sunday evenings, mostly selling raw vintage baseball cards from the 60's and 70's. This last Friday was extremely slow and not very profitable. I know that this is Easter week but could that make that big of a difference? All of my auctions have a 79 cent minimum bid and 79 cent shipping. Six of the 14 auctions didn't get a single bid and 7 of them sold for their initial 79 cent bid. Only one sold for above that, at $4. Even Views were way down.
So, anyone else have a similar experience? Thanks in advance for your input.

I have definitely noticed the views/bidding is dramatically lower then normal the past few days. Some cards I have had up for a couple weeks typically getting 20-40 views ended with only 2 or 3 views. Was wondering what was going on glad I'm not the only one!
Well, what are the comps?
passover, kids spring breaks, traveling, easter weekend & opening day. prolly not the best week to start or end auctions. also sunday night might not be the best night to end anymore. too many people doing it. a few months ago before i quit selling on ebay for the most part, tues/wed night endings seem to work the best..
We were at church Friday evening for Good Friday services and were out of the house from 5:30p - 9:30p so I didn't do anything on ebay from about 2pm on Friday until Saturday morning when I was stirring around about 10a. Will be going to sunrise service and morning service tomorrow and will be spending time with family so won't be check ebay at all tomorrow.
Nope, everything started popping late last night, sold more lots in the last 15 hours than last weekend
I have several auctions ending tonight. They have watchers so I am hoping that they will bid.
