Apparently everybody is SPEECHLESS at the sheer visual force of this object d'art. (I told you I was gonna keep the better ones for later.) You can react without fearing the wrath of Ku, I promise. This hovering around the bare bones reserve is unnerving. Where is danlovestikis when one needs him... ...PHOOOEEEE...(the sound of wind)...tumbleweeds blowin'....the bidders have left the building |

Wow, Bigbro, you are shameless! DOn't go for the 2 day auction - even if people aren bidding, they're looking. You gotta give people time to look. They'll bid later. |

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. Sabu 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.

How, in that I am shameless? :) Tikifish wrote: "...even if people aren't bidding, they're looking" Looking, schmooking. Yeah, but does LOOK not create WANT, and does WANT not create BID !? Well, to be honest, I couldn't afford these mugs at these prices myself...but I gotta sell them to people who can, so I can afford them. It's a vicious, twisted circle. Sorta like a drug dealer, he he...he Sabu, I dig your new logo, with the dancer over the type, it is as if she is calling "SABOOOO...!" [ Edited by: bigbrotiki on 2004-04-10 01:03 ] |

Look certainly does create want and want certainly does create bid,but checkbook says you've got the mortgage to pay.I'd love to have some of these beauties,but they're WAY off my financial radar,so looking is what I'll have to settle for. |

What I mean by looking is, you are finding many more potential buyers by keeping it on longer. They will likely be bookmarking your auction and then bid at the last minute. The less time you put it up, the less people will be bidding against each other at the last minute. Don't worry! Plus, they can smell desperation... try to conceal the fact that you need the mug money for your burgeoning crack habit, would ya? |

Bigbro, Did the last-minute sniping on your auction raise the final price to an acceptable one? Were you overjoyed? Just pleased? Disappointed? Do we expect better things from Spanish mugs? Sabu |

WOW!!!!! What a unique pleasure to find that Sven "By the way, you are aware that I am the 'author' of 'the book of.........." Tiki promotes his auctions on this site. What an inspiring and trend setting individual he is. That's just super keen. I sure wish that I had the dolLARS to own such a coveted item. chuckle [ Edited by: TikiDeath on 2004-04-19 03:02 ] |

Virani, Yeah, I'd be up for that. It'll have to be a little later on in the year as I'm just starting a new job in a week or so and will need to save up the Euros. (Those mugs are pretty expensive in Spain! 14-36 Euros each) Trader Woody |
