1. Do you get the same bang for your buck when you list on eBay on weeknights?

   With more and more using sniping software, the less and less the ending time matters.

   There are too many random variables to determine absolutely that one day/time will always outperform another day/time. With 150,000,000 + shoppers out there, any of them could show up at anytime.

    I've tried a few different nights as well.
