Tikifish is right, Bigbro.

A lot of E-bayers sort their searches by "newest items first" and for some reason, the 2 & 5-day auctions get lost in the stack. I recently posted a lot of 11 Smothers Brothers lps on a 5-day auction because I needed the cash sooner. I didn't get a single bid, and very few hits on my auction counter. I re-listed as a 7-day auction and the response was fantastic. Lots of bids and a closing price of over $40.00. Stick with the 7-day auctions. (Doctor-Z uses 10-day auctions exclusively and has even better results).

Be patient and I think you'll find that you'll get most of your bids in the last few hours of the auction - at least that's the pattern I see on my popular items.

P.S. The mugs are FANTASTIC and I wish I could afford them. I'd love to finance a trip to Spain with Catalonian mugs myself. I can also see that I need to learn a thing or two about photographing and lighting my own E-bay items from you.
