Auctions ending Thanksgiving. Bargains?

xbob

I made the mistake of ending auctions on a holiday once and got way below the norm for ended items.

Maybe it's a better idea to find auctions ending on a holiday, like Thanksgiving, and schedule a snipe. The bidders that don't use a sceduled sniping program will be too busy munching on Turkey to get their bids in.

It's worth a try. As I've said before, I got my 1877 IHC on July 4 of last year, and I got it for about $300 less than I expected to pay. I set the sniping program, went out to a party/picnic for the afternoon, and came back a winner...

Only kidding.

Happy Thanksgiving in advance forum friends!

Superbowl Sunday is a great day to pick up bargains.

Thanksgiving Day itself will be slow, but the weekend afterwards does quite well.

I did this once too. I should've cancelled the auctions when I realized what I did but I let them ride since there were bids.

Speaking as a dealer or collector?

Yeah, I probably should have clarified that. Bidding action is slow on T Day, but is strong over the weekend following. So, not a good idea to have listings close on Thursday, but they're fine closing over the weekend.
