Sunday morning (Hawaii time), only six hours left on this week's auctions.
It's interesting to watch things develop over the week. 300354158240 is a three-year-old graphics card, a VisionTek 9550 (ATI Radeon 9550) of 128 MB video RAM. A couple weeks ago at a $25 minimum bid it didn't get a single watcher, let alone a bid. (This card has sold for $25-$30 in other auctions.) I relisted it at $15 minimum and had a watcher within 30 minutes.
Still no bids, but during the week the number of watchers has been slowly creeping up. Yesterday it was at five, and this morning it's at eight. Are these all potential bidders, or are some of you guys just hanging around to watch the conclusion? Should I call for extra crowd-control security or for more popcorn? How fast can eBay's server farm process those final proxy bids in the auction's last 30 seconds?
I'm going to put up the remaining nine items this afternoon-- seven spoons, a baby-food pusher, and the wooden display rack. Hopefully in another week I'll be mailing out the last of it.
