Hi,

I'm curious to see what day of the week and time of day seems to be the most successful for launching auctions.

I would think Sunday night to start/end an auction would be best because so many people are on-line over the weekend, but according to my counter, I get a lot of hits on Mondays, too.

I try to start my auctions on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I get a lot of hits on Monday because I believe people spend the weekend looking at auctions and then decide to actually bid on Monday. Sara

I start most of my auctions on Thursday night @ 11:30 PM & run them for 10 days. This way I get 2 weekends in. A study done abiut 2 yrs. ago found the ending auctions on Sat or Sun were the best days of the week. More people are on the internet on weekends. Has worked for me.

I start my auctions when they stop...sometimes I kick them...others, I verbally assault...and then there are those too incorrigible to bother with...those, I repost in the depths of Amazon, where they weep and nash their teeth.

I start my auctions anytime I have time to do them. I have tried everyday of the week to end them and I find no difference. I just like to end them around 8 - 10 pm at night as the kids are in bed and that seems like a good sniping time....Covers both the east and the west coast and everyone in between.
