Ebay Challenge Update 1/11

January 11th, 2009 at 08:54 pm

No sales yet.

No bids yet, but I've gone from 5 watchers on 4 items to 8 watchers on the same 4 items. Two items have 3 watchers each so pretty good chance that those 2 will sell. They end on Wednesday.

I just listed one more ebay item.

    I'm getting a slow start. I have zero items listed on ebay. No one has inquired on my couch I listed on craigslist yet.

    Sounds like you will have success this week! Yes!

    I often wonder about watchers. How many are people thinking about selling similar items, and how many are actual buyers?
    But it's a hopeful sign, isn't it?
    I've got 5 watchers on my auction too.
    I'm loving this challenge since it's actually making me pay attention to clutter and put it to some good use.

    I think watchers include a variety of people. Since virtually nobody bids on ebay until the last hour of an auction, and primarily the last couple of minutes, people do flag things to come back and possibly bid. Most watchers don't turn into bidders, it seems. I have been a watcher on items many times and never bid because the price got well above what I was willing to pay.

    Some people watch to see what an item goes for because they own one or have one to sell.

    Some people watch with the intent of bidding but just don't get back in time.

    If I have one watcher, I don't count on it selling, but when I get 3 or 4 or 6, I generally figure at least one of them will bid.

    Well, I'm happy to report one of my watchers (maybe?) has turned into a bidder!
    I watch lots of auctions; often because I have something like it that I may want to sell.

    That's good, my english castle.

    No bids yet for me, but I am up to 10 watchers on 5 items.
