7 days from today: Super Bowl. I almost posted a bunch of junk without thinking.

that is all.

mrpaseo · January 28, 2007 12:56AM

Good point, thanks

Coxe · January 28, 2007 12:58AM

Ah. A good day to cherrypick helpless TT and HNAI consignors too!

My thoughts exactly

I actually had a 1909-SVDB Lincoln in high grade which ended on Super Bowl Sunday a few years ago and it did very well. I wouldn't recommend listing items to end on the big football day, but I think anyone who really wants an item, will be sure to do what's necessary to get it.

ricko · January 28, 2007 1:17AM

If it involves a ball, I do not watch it... IMO a monster waste of time. Cheers, RickO

CarlWohlforth · January 28, 2007 1:19AM

Thanks for the reminder.

If I remember correctly I did OK with some smaller priced items last year but was careful not to list much. It seemed like there was little action at the last minute which is usually the best time for increased bids.

All the power to those who prefer to watch others play games and even get emotionally involved in it. Never understood it and even tried to like it before. Seems like a monumental waste of time, in a way different than this forum. Spectator sport is the opium of the masses.

Laptop and wireless connection ready for that evening.

oh and SHaddup Hyperion!

eyoung429 · January 28, 2007 1:30AM

Never understood the lust for watching a bunch of grown men playing with their balls

Yes, it's early and I'm grumpy.

garsmith · January 28, 2007 1:32AM

Good day for snipping

ricko · January 28, 2007 2:36AM

Coxe..

Cheers, RickO

No. Anyone over 40 should recognize it though. I like the way it points to my post (except for on replies).

fcloud · January 28, 2007 2:41AM

I am somewhat surprised that e-bay didn't offer 20c listings today. I don't think there are too many people out there who would list.

Last year I was licking my chops hoping to score a couple coins on TT. No such luck. They both went for stupid money.

On the other hand, With all the office pools, Squares ect... Monday & Tuesday may bring a jackpot. I myself am in a couple of these pools, The pay-off will be handsome. I will be shopping if I do in fact win.

Yes. But use the software and you don't have to worry about the game or much else except having the money to pay for everything you win.

That is way too logical a statement for these times. I used to get all into any game with a ball, now I don't really care a bit, but watch them on occasion. I'd rather be hunting in the woods or searching for a pl/dmpl morgan.

silverxxxsurfer · January 28, 2007 7:45AM

he's sipping AND sniping!

Bochiman · January 28, 2007 8:05AM

For those that don't care about the football/basketball/etc games, more power to you.
Sell your items to like minded folks.

For me, I like to make my items more readily available to anyone with the money to buy it. I don't care if they are a sportsnut or they hate sports.

I was almost going to list a few things (motherboards, CPUs, etc) but decided not to because of the Superbowl. I may watch it, I may not, but I know a lot of people will be (males, generally, and most of what I would list would be more likely to go to men)

Texast · January 28, 2007 8:23AM

Thanks for reminding us, now that I have already listed 10 auctions, guess I should have checked here first...

storm888 · January 28, 2007 8:33AM

"...I think anyone who really wants an item, will be sure to do what's necessary to get it."

Yup.

And, snipes will be set days in advance.

nickel · January 28, 2007 8:52AM

For the unknown thousands that will be watching the
game ,unknown thousands will not be . Hey ,i'ts about
5 hours , and if the game is lopsided , unknown thousands
will flock to the bay and bid their frustrations . And if not,
you have over 300 other days to list your stuff .

lsica · January 28, 2007 9:21AM

OK, besides Sunday, what days work best? I have some stuff ready to go tonight for a week, should I change the duration to a 5 day (Friday before), a 10 day (Wednesday after), or reschedule it so it ends on ANOTHER day?

nickel · January 28, 2007 10:04AM

Auction ending times have been discussed on many
different venues . I have never seen a chart or board
consensus on which day and hour are the "one" to
shoot for , but 4:15 eastern time on a tuesday morning
may not be a good choice . Unless the item you are selling
is the one a night watchman has been searching for.
However it is an interesting question , as I have a
super bowl item to list. As the previous poster asked ,
before the game,during or monday?
Well , it's either after the game , when many are under
the influence , or monday when more will be bidding
rather than dozing the night before . Maybe I will
decide by a coin toss?

Newb · January 28, 2007 10:27AM

Thanks Hyperion - good heads up - I just changed my scheduled starts.

seemyauction · January 28, 2007 10:56AM

I'm not scared of it.......matter of fact I listed some nice stuff just cuz ya mentioned it.....

AL

LeeBone · January 28, 2007 11:09AM

ya know............

With the Superbowl being played, there will be lots of people indulging in liquid refreshments to loosen their fingers on the keyboards on ebay. I for one, have found myself willing to "bid a little higher" than normal under these circumstances.

Who knows...I might just need "That Special Coin" this Sunday and make some lucky seller VERY HAPPY!!!

seateddime · January 28, 2007 11:52AM

I mess that up, change the sales to 5 days!

BobaFett72 · January 28, 2007 12:02PM

i made sure mine are ending on Monday; Usually have good success with any day but Fri. and sat. (end times)

bestday · January 28, 2007 12:05PM

Sunday will be just like a slow summer weekend...yes sellers will take on the chin

Bikingnut · January 28, 2007 12:08PM

There will still be a lot of people bidding.

TheLiberator · January 28, 2007 12:25PM

Interesting. I just happened to list 4 coins on the bay of e...all for .99 with no reserve! I almost NEVER sell there either. DRAT!
