Ebay Sellers: Will you have any auctions ending Dec. 27?

Or will you wait until after the New Year, figuring folks will be on vacation between Christmas and New Years. On the other hand, one could suggest that more folks will be HOME between Christmas and New Years, and will have more time to cruise eBay for coins. What do you think?

    I have been asking myself the same questions.

    I think in the end it might be a wash. You could end up with more bidders, since they are not working and are at home....but less because they are otherwise traveling or occupied. I have no idea how it will actually pan out. I am interested in hearing other opinions.
  • I figured give the buyers time to get home over the weekend, so mine ends on the 28th.
  • I am done selling until next year. Just too risky during Christmas for me with everyone worried about buying presents and all.

    My experience, given 10+ years on ebay, is that I don't sell anything after mid November until early January when the FUN frenzy seems to stimulate demand. Ebay for the last 6 weeks of the year is like russian roulette - sometimes you win, sometimes you die. Its a risk-reward thing....

  • What's the big deal about December 27th?
    Other than it's my 65th birthday.
    I guess it really is a big deal, eh?

    I have some real tough stuff ending the 27th. If you have great material it sells itself no matter the Month, year ie.. If you are selling common widgets, however, look out. I expect more eyes than usual due to vacation time people seem to take around this time of year.

    A lot of people get cash for presents so it may not be a bad idea to end an auction on the 27th.

    I bought three Roman coins on an Ebay auction which ended on the afternoon of December 25, 2004.

    I was at my sister's place for Christmas and she allowed me to use her computer to log onto Ebay
    and place my bids.

    I wonder how many bids the seller lost due to people being out of computer range on that day.

    I can't say about the sellers, but as a Buyer, I know I'll be searching Ebay for hopefully some bargains over Xmas.

  • I will be at Foxboro Stadium for the last regular season home game of the year on the 27th. No Ebay for me until at least 8PM that night.
