How not to run online auctions 101. Probably missed out on a potential few thou
In what way? They were listed straight after the Adelaide game and on trademe for 10 days.
TradeMe say the most 'active' bidding takes place during the closing moments of an auction, so if an auction closed at about 5:30pm on a weekday there would be a fair few less bids than if it were to have closed at say 8:30pm, for obvious reasons mentioned earlier. Doesnt help that they all supposedly closed at the same time either. You can have listing closing times 'staggered' at 15min intervals if you like, surely this would have meant for higher selling prices.
I went in early with a low auto bid (other than the one I wanted), checked a few times and uped it as required. 1 auto bid was placed at the max I would pay on day one and it did not even get close to be beaten. Last year I chased the sales at the closing of the earliest shirt was lucky I got one(only by slipping a bid in in the last few seconds) but not the one I wanted.
The bidders were just not their this year.
