What is the best 'ending' time for auctions these days ?
Anyone think it's best to end on a time or day of the week ?
I have heard a lot. Weekends are good or bad, blah blah
So what do you users advise ?
I appreciate any tips to get the bidders to see items ending at the best possible time.

Thanks

I dont know about other sellers, but it makes sense to me to have the item end an hour or two after the time you think your clients will be home from work or school. so if your potential buyers are school kids for example, end the auction around 3-4pm, but if your clients are working then after 6pm etc. be aware of different time zones too.

Thanks
So you do not really target a day but just the time
I always thought some days are better

Thanks a lot

I post between 10 and 10:30 PM. This way all are home east to west coast, and still awake on the east and done with dinner in the west.

As for days, I prefer Sundays and Fridays, but any day will yield results. I just seem to get better results on Sundays. Saturdays can also provide surprises too!

I never list during the day, always 10pm and after.
