I told you not to tell anyone my secret! :p

Cheers minendo :beer:

Joony, from what I've heard Sunday evenings are best, not too early though, prime time should do well :)

Bidbot.net searches ebay's system and tells you what previous items went for and what time they ended.

Personally I end everything at 7 PST to give all bidders on all coasts a chance. Sunday nights usually work the best for me as well.

I think you're supposed to end them Sunday at 6pm (if you're on pacific). That way, the people on the East coast still have a good chance of bidding on it.

depends on what you are selling. if your target is home mom, end them around from 10am to 2pm. you will figure. then there are normal people sleep before 12am.
