Help me please.

Going to sell a nice Radley bag and want to end the sale at a weekend- but is Saturday or Sunday the best day and up to what time- 9pm, 10pm?

Any advice?

Sunday is the best time usually, anytime between 8-10 I think.

cassell · 07/03/2013 17:52

8pm-10pm I meant

Thanks- thought everyone would be out having fun on Saturdays.

Sunday late afternoon I always go for. When the shite is on the telly.

But after the supermarkets have closed. I aim for about 5.30.

I think Sunday mid-morning (10-11) is worth a try, for stuff that hasn't sold on previous efforts in the evening slot.

Our wifi goes off at 8:30pm so has to be earlier for me, anyway.

I kept track of sale prices for a specific group of items for a year, and Saturdays were noticeably better selling prices than Sundays. Make of it what you will.

Monday or Tues is normally better than a weekend in my experience. Anytime from 8-10pm.

I think any evening (apart from friday/saturday) 8-10pm, daytime can work for certain types of items, so can most times at weekends

really bad times after 10pm before 9am

selling kids clothes with finishing time of 3pm when practically every parent is doing school run or at 6.30-7,30 when they are doing bedtime

however the above probably do not matter if you are selling tableclothes or car parts

you will get lower prices if you list on free weekends so you need to balance that against no listing fee against price as everyones stuff is then finisihing the following sunday evening so there is more choice this applies mainly to lower price items like clothing

if you are selling something very rare it does not matter as the enthusiasts will snip it etc ( by rare I mean when you check completed listing they are not more than 20)

I only use FLWS and very few of my auctions end on Sunday eve.
