Hi Gary and all,
I basically agree with your summations. I would also include Tues.
Wed. or Thurs. night too.
I would avoid Monday, Friday and Saturday. I usually list things on Tues.
Thurs. or Sunday night!!
Afternoon is no good unless its on the weekend----too many people are still
at work or school in the afternoon. Also----it seems that the FAVORITES
LISTS always comes out between 8:00 pm CDT and 9:00 pm CDT. So putting stuff
up between 8:00 and 9:00 pm may give you an extra day that people may see
your items come out over their FAVORITES LIST!!

Subject: [meteorite-list] Selling on eBay [AD? Not really.]
Hello Listers,
I have a question that many dealers will probably find brash and not one
they wish to answer
as it involves spreading information about how to sell meteorites more
successfully.
Nonetheless, I'm asking, with a smile and a hope for some offers of
real-life marketing info,
"What is your best day/time of the week to sell your wares on eBay?"
In exchange I'll offer my own beliefs right now.
I believe that Sunday evening [just around 4-9PM eastern time] is the
best time to have an
auction end on eBay because people are done with weekend play and get in a
session of
puter-fun before bedtime.
I believe that on both Friday nights and all of Saturday people are not at
home to bid in great
numbers, so they are not good times to aim for.
I also believe that Monday thru Friday-day are not as productive as Sunday
evening, but
more effective than Fridaynight or all of Saturday.
Friday [just around 4-7PM eastern time] is my second choice, as people are
at the end of
their work week and many will check their auction items just before going
home for the
weekend.
In all cases afternoon/evening is the best time to time eBay auctions to
end.
There, you now have my opinions. They are based on my thoughts of human
psychology,
not real-time analysis, so take them or leave them accordingly.
Anyone want to share some known numbers?
Gary K. Foote
