Do you think it's a bad idea to end EBay auctions on Palm Sunday?

Barry

Have a few coins to Ebay. If I start them this Sunday, they will end Palm Sunday. Bad idea or no big deal?

Palm Sunday - Palm Pilot - It dont matter

Depends on whether your buyers gave up buying on Ebay for Lent?

Seriously, though, if you think that traffic will be substantially reduced, I woudn't. As I am not of the Catholic persuasion, I probably wouldn't have even given it a second thought.

Braddick and I both had auctions ending on Thanksgiving Day and we were both a little nervous. I did extremely well and if memory serves --I think Braddick also kicked A.

I have two very high dollar (high dollar for me folks, a mere pittance to most of you ) auctions that will be ending on palm sunday. I didn't realize this until I read this thread. We'll see how they go.

I don't think it matters.

Palm Sunday is a nonevent. You're more likely to be slowed down by a heat wave in the midwest or something.

it is kind of you to think of all the christians, seeing palm sunday
is related.

do you do the same things for other religions? if not, i see no reason
why palm sunday should be special.

Only if your auction ends during morning church hours. Palm Sunday is nothing special. Now Easter, that's different!

I agree.

American Catholics pretty much ignore the Pope anyways, and everybody else doesn't care.

The time change Sunday will have more effect on eBay sales

Happy to oblige...

No. I'm just going with the numbers, not playing politics. I suspect 99% of the bidders will be Christian, and a high percentage Catholic (one of the auctions is a Vatican Euro set) hence my question. I don't think I'd end an auction on Yom Kippur, regardless of the numbers.

I might not end one on Easter, but I doubt Palm Sunday would be an issue.

Just don't end it 3 AM Pacific on a Wednesday morning.

I recently picked off a PR70 Gold Eagle in an NGC holder for about 10% under spot back when gold was in the $540 range.
