What is the best time of day / best day of the week to end US Coin Auctions. This has been a topic of debate in my local coin club as many are looking at auction blowout:
Parameters:
99c to 9.95 start amount (to ensure sales success)
Bullion coins start slightly below melt.
I have always leaned toward the same time Teletrade used to end theirs which was 9pm central. However 9pm pacific may be better or not?
This is for ebay auctions of US coins, World coins may be different due to time zones / interests.
What day, end time would you prefer if based on the above parameters. Hypothetical situation: Your blowing out a lot of stuff either to raise funds for a project or thin down that large store inventory that is not moving which has lots of dead items sitting there 16 mo or more. Retail sales have been very slow.

Saturday 9am-1pm
sunday evening 7-9 pm.
Monday Night used to be good, but the past year or so seems lack luster.
I do list at other times for some things , but these are my best
This I think is optimal compromise - not too late Eastern, not too early Western.
People get nailed every year forgetting about Superbowl Sunday.

This is what I was thinking. Those ebay bucks are kinda iffy at when the window is open. This last batch of bucks was Mon & Tues I believe. The previous were more toward mid week. And I don't believe that they announce prior to.

If you believe that, then you've been "brainwashed" by online conspiracy garbage and not by reality.
Hint - don't end your auctions in the middle of the work day during a major coin convention. I think they also had it as no reserve or a very conservative starting bid.
