When Should an eBay Listing End?

[glchen]

I usually end my auctions between 8pm to 10pm EST (or 5-7pm PST). Frankly, I just think there are more bidders on the East Coast, so it's better to cater to their timeframes.

Unless there's a guy like me who would have been willing to pay 30% more than the hammer price had I not been in the middle of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when it ended, which is often the case

See Rule 7:

1st RULE: You do not talk about Ebay auction endings.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about EBay auction endings.
3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the auction is over.
4th RULE: Only two shill bidders to an auction.
5th RULE: One auction at a time.
6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.
7th RULE: Auctions will go on as long as they have to.
8th RULE: If this is your first night at EBay you HAVE to bid.

I'm counting on the electoral votes from New York and Florida to take me to the White House. Besides I live in California and a have a reseller license, so I have to charge California residents 9.5% sales tax. That puts a crimp on my sales (and votes!) from my home state.
