eBay auctions ending Super Bowl Sunday

Does it matter if I have auctions ending Sunday or am I hurting my sales? Don't most people use sniping services or put in their bid early?

Somewhat on the subject - it used to be the common belief that Sundays was the best day to end auctions. Is that still the case?

    No...I find Sundays to be not so hot anymore. PWCC also ends his auctions during the weeknight. And I would ESPECIALLY not end it during the big game!

    Would relist those auctions especially if it is something sports related.


    Sunday's in general have been going downhill for me also with final ending sales of auctions. I prefer to now get auctions to end on weekdays around 9 to 10 pm est. This way seems to work best for me.

    I just changed everything to end on Monday. Give everyone that calls in sick that day something to do.

    I like Tuesdays and Wednesdays to end auctions.

    Thursdays were always the biggest night for me.

    Super Bowl Sunday is a bad day to end an auction. It's a good time to get some bargains as a buyer. Unless the game is a blow-out there won't be much bidding.

    I think Sundays are still the best day to end an auction. If you have an auction that ends late Sunday after the Super Bowl, you may get some bidders who are loosened up by booze. Never a bad thing (unless they don't pay)!

When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
