What's the most "watchers" you've had on one of your Ebay auctions?

I have one currently running now on day 3, with 14 (with only one bidder, so far). That's up there for my stuff.

    12. Most of my stuff never gets more than three or four.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I start almost everything at $9.99 and I have seen my # watchers in the 40s for some items but it is typically in the 5-15 range at its peak. I also think its funny when you have an item with no bids and its being watched by 20+ people. I do like the watching list as I've had people send me offers on an item and my decision to replay to them is based, in part, by the # of watchers - more watchers means more interest.

    I have 18 watching my 1901 Barber Half PCGS AU58 right now.
    Another 8 watching my 1990 Toned ASE PCGS MS68.

    Watchers don't mean anything, I had 30+ watching an early dollar I had up for sale.....................all said and done.........NO SALEimage

    The auction I'm running now had 17 watchers at one point. When the high bid suddenly jumped from $33 to $76 with one bid, the number of watchers quickly dropped to 11, but it's back to 13 now.

    3 I think.
    I don't pay attention to watchers anymore like I use to.
    Got 3 bids on one of my auctions with zero watchers.
    Got 2 watchers on my other auctions with zero bids.

    At one point I had 36 on this coin:

    1879-CC

    I noticed on the day it closed, the number of watchers declined to the point where shortly before it closed there were 14 watching it.

    << <i>I also think its funny when you have an item with no bids and its being watched by 20+ people. >>

    These, obviously, are mostly people hoping to snipe at or near the minimum bid at the last minute. If many of them go away after a bid or two are placed, that only confirms it.

    I wouldn't put too much faith in the number of watchers watching a auction. Since eBay started informing sellers of the number interested in a coin I have refused to use, "my eBay" for watching. I now use my snipe program and no one knows except myself.

    45. It was a group of slabbed coins in a bulk lot.

    I will watch a coin simply to find out what it sells for because I own a similar coin.
