(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.

Why not have TWO day auctions then. Is that normal? Or do people maybe not LIKE this mug? (This is an honest question, I really don't follow auctions enough to know if this is a trend.)

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. [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy on 2004-04-09 13:45 ]

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 (insane grin)...you see, first I get you all hooked, and then... 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 ]

T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Sun, Apr 11, 2004 3:34 PM 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?

Were you overjoyed? Just pleased? Disappointed? Do we expect better things from Spanish mugs? Sabu
