Which day do more people buy books?

[1Cool]

I've always heard Sunday night is the best day to end an auction on E-Bay but is there a way to determine which day more people buy books via BIN? I seem to sell a majority of my books on Friday with Saturday being a close second. The sales really slow down Sunday - Thursday. Does anyone know if there is a way to have Paypal sort payment dates by days of the week since that may give some good data.

 

Which day is best for you?

Isn't comiclink generally between Tue-Thurs? A lot of people save for that auction.

Could have some impact on mid-week sales. I'd think that would effect the graded book sellers on E-Bay but I'm sure there is some trickle down effect.

If I am offering comic books, I try to end things when Sparkle City isn't.

But BINs typically run all month and there seems to be a definete uptick in sales on Friday. Could just be pay day for folks.

Thank god for drunk buyers - I depend on them.

I have never welched on a drunken purchase.

 

My $400 Lego Death Star will attest to that.

During the summer, Sunday seems to stink - I guess people forget to bid.

In the colder months, it get's better on Sunday again.

Friday evening folks seems to drop bids and buy things on Ebay.

During WD season, I end the auction Monday night if it's for a Copper-Modern book.

Auction? You crazy? I rarely see auctions close at the price I'm able to get via BINs. Its a great way to guarantee a sale but I'm sticking away from them. Glad they work for you.

Ah, sorry. Glazed over the first post. I hardly do auctions unless it's an in-demand book that I want to turn over.

 

I just did a quick count, and this is how my recent sales have broken down.

 

Su: 1

Mo: 3

Tu: 8

We: 5

Th: 7

Fr: 2

Sa: 5

Looking over the last months sales - I should have said Friday and Sunday seem to be high sales days.

I know some folks that do the contrary. Lots of eyes on the 'Bay when Sparkle is selling a collection.

Friday is usually payday!

[gpanalysis]

On eBay, you see a higher volume of books sold on Sundays

Thanks. But are you talking about BINs, or auctions that end on Sundays?

 

[gpanalysis]

Both types (BINs and auctions) are higher on that particular day.
