The last couple of weeks have been very slow both on hits and bids. Perhaps it's just Memorial Day and graduation time but it seems slower than normal for this time of year.
I typically don't see the summer slowdown until July.

Memorial Day was pretty bad, but I ended auctions at night on the holiday and still did fair-good. I knew this last week would be better, and it was. I had a ton of Buy It Now bids, but still managed to have a dismal sell through rate because people weren't bidding, even on items that had a ton of watchers.

Don't forget that major news breaks (as is the case with President Reagan) will cause people to watch more TV, and less ebay.
