<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 824283, member: 13650"]I think you can narrow it down just by using common sense. Any time, after 6 p.m. but before 11 p.m. should be good, most any night of the week. The 'vast majority' (not all of course) of people who will be buying probably have a regular job they work. Depending on when people have to get up in the morning, I'm sure certain percentages start dropping off after 9, 10, and you've probably lost almost everybody by 11 p.m. At least during the week. The 'vast majority' of people can't bid on ebay during the work day. So any time between 11 p.m. to 4 p.m. the next day, I would think would be pretty lousy. Many people have long commutes and may not be home by 4 p.m. </p><p><br /></p><p> I look at it from my own standpoint as well. If I find something that's really good and I want it bad, I will make every effort to be there when it ends, if I am able to. Depending on how bad I want it, I will adjust my schedule for ebay items occasionally. Sometimes that means waiting a little later for supper or pausing my show on the DVR. Sometimes it means staying up later than I would like to. Which that last one kind of irritates me. </p><p><br /></p><p> I'd say the 10 p.m. <u>EST</u>, time slot is prime time, most any day of the week, for the entire U.S. Not too late for New York and it would be 7 p.m. on the west coast, which would be ideal. After supper, yet before people are going to bed. </p><p><br /></p><p> Somebody listing an auction at 11 p.m. on the west coast, will likely do poorly at the end, any day of the week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
