Nah, I think it's just a slow time of the year for this sort of thing.
- It's the second half of the first month in which really, really nice weather
has arrived (in most of the U.S., at least).
- This week and next week are popular weeks for vacations in the U.S., due to
Memorial Day.
- Many people have just spent their monthly LEGO allowances on the new George
Lucas movie and related LEGO toys.
So I'd say, give people a bit more time (like 2-3 more weeks) to recover from
Spring and Star Wars fever, and because of that, don't close the auction too
soon.
