    Not necessarily. Some people watch the auction for the point of watching it. They want to see how high it gets. Good luck though!

    hopefully not the $1200 one. If so, then 30 watchers means 30 folks seeing if someone will actually bid that much on a PCGS MS66 2005-D Bison

    Some may be preparing to snipe.

    It is quite common fopr auctions with large numbers of watchers to end up with few bids. Many watchers just want to know what something is worth. They also lose interest when the item approaches its real value...since their only interest in it was getting it for a very low price. I recently had an auction that had 30 watchers, 315 "hits"...but only 2 bidders.

    Go to your "My ebay"
    Sign in and click on " Selling ".
    That brings up a list of all items you are selling. It shows the number of bids, number of watchers and a bit more info.
