Coin sellers on Ebay. Do you do anything differently in December?

It seems to get tricky, as we get close to Christmas and the New Year. What changes, if any, do you make?

I try to limit my visits to the Post Office.
edited to add: Since Christmas is a Sunday I would think that isn't the best day to have an auction end. Dec 31 is another date to avoid having auctions end.

Post office lines get incredibly long this time of year, as does transit time for many packages and letters. I also notice that at this time of year it takes most customers much longer to finish with their transactions compared to usual.
If the item intended to be sent is anything of relevance I use FedEx almost exclusively from late November until the new year.

Coins are largely "discretionary" funds type of items.
You are now hitting "end of year" which is not always a lot of money.....people, in general, will put gifts, etc, over coin purchases.
So, there are less funds for coins (how many people get coins for presents? And, if you did, were they "good coins"? I wouldn't want my wife to buy me coins as I don't think she would get a good deal as she doesn't know the market or hobby.).
So, some items will do ok, but I think most will stagnant or lose a little steam.
I, however, plan to be on the lookout for some nice cheap purchases as others let them languish
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
BTW a line of three people is huge in the Post Office where I take packages. Of course thats one half of the population where I live.

Actually, after the holidays, I usually start listing everything that may have been hanging around for the past year that I've taken in trades, or that just can't seem to find a home for.
