The only laugh I’ve had all day is your bit about goods being left at the altar – the ALTAR-ATIONS are SO “moving along”, like the Vicar of Dibley! (Did you marry her on the sly?) Great reading, with mind-stretching ideas thanks.

Like Lillybeth, I didn’t know about the ‘more options’ link and after reading this page and going to that link, I have now changed the way my auctions are presented and headlined.
Thanks heaps

All good advice. May I add something that may help – DON’T GIVE UP OVER THE SCHOOL HOLS (or even, perhaps, save your listings until AFTER the school hols!) With a slump every year at this time in my sales, usually popular items, I figured the money that was usually spent on T M was going on feeding and entertaining the kids. Well, obviously some of this is true, but then the penny dropped – 99% of my customers are adults and the kids are on the PC at the times Mum and Dad used to be bidding! So hold out, and just be aware of those dates! Good luck everyone.

Cute ending. I like blossoms.

Hey I’d never seen/noticed the ‘more options’ link by the search box, silly me. But that is SUPER helpful when you need to know what’s a realistic price to expect your auction to sell for.

But it only works if you actually type a keyword to search for in the box (hint to the other newbies reading this).

Thanks again.
