I wonder if I am the only one who rolls my eyes when I read eBay advertising posts which read something like "price still only $x... or 40% of retail cost... and 3 days to go". Some people even sound really *worried* about it. This is really silly - (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Man I thought I was the only one that thought some of those posts were ridiculous. I don't even bid often on E-Bay but I check it enough to know that what the bid value is at 3 days before in no way reflects what the final bid is going to be. (...)

(...) That's true to a point. I think you can make general predictions that are pretty safe; if an auction has no bids for four days, it's not likely to shoot into the stratosphere. Also, if it has no bids or few bids in that four days, the right (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) I really hate that all the LEGO auctions which are all in the category LEGO have to waste title space with LEGO (and some make sure they catch stupid searchers and add Legos also). I mean really, if you want to look at all the LEGO items, look (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Call me guilty, I guess... but it DOES build traffic a bit. I am running my auctions at 10 days right now so if I only flog it at the very start, it's not very flogged. (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Well.. I've found that flogging on the "days in between" doesn't do much, if anything. I just flog at the beginning and the last-but-one day and that does make a difference. I also have settled on 5 day auctions for most things because really (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

I'm beginning to think that it really doesn't matter one way or another if I post multiple announcements here. For my last batch, i posted one big one at the beginning, and then one with just the unbid auctions about 2-3 days before they closed. (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
