I've been interested on an auction on ebay for multiple items, and am a bit puzzled by the way it works. I put in a bid for 4 items at (say) $50 each. $50 is a good price for the sets, and at $50 I'd be happy buying four of them. I watched the (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-03, to lugnet.market.theory)

As a seller, I'm trying to decide when is best to list auctions, and I'd like input from you all: Since ebay auctions always end 5, 7, etc. days from the moment they are listed, it's important to start your auction (as the seller) at the right time (...)
