Closing auctions on LABOR day weekend

msteel · 08-26-2007, 12:03 PM

Anyone have good luck selling on next Sunday a day before Labor day?
I can't remember last year if things were good or bad but I know I had a ton of auctions ended. Any help remembering anything at this point would be helpful. As usually thanks for all your insights..

Bad for sellers - Good for buyers, people are out and about. Monday night might be ok, but I would think sunday or saturday would be bad.

the weather might be a factor as well. these days, people don't spend too much time without access to a computer or the internet. if heat/rain keep people from being outside, sales might be good.

I know people talk about holidays being horrible for auctions, but if you look at the closing prices I really don't think they're going to be drastically different. A lot of people use snipe programs and I know personally if I see a card I really want to bid on that weekend, I'll bid early or find a way to get to the computer when it ends.

With that said, ending prices may be a little lower on some cards, so if you have a choice, you might wait and end it during the week. If for some reason you have the end on that weekend, I really don't think you'll get completely killed.

Thanks...
I think I will not LOAD up on allot of them but put some out their. Most of my auctions ended tonight alittle lower than expected on Sunday. Anyone agree with me or is it the mass glut of everyone loading up on Sundays which seem to get good sales...
