Watchers
If you've sold items on ebay you know that sellers can see how many people are watching their item. It doesn't tell you who they are, just how many. Last night I listed two vintage bicycles. I'm thinning the herd and intend to get down to four like a normal person.
So I listed the two at around 8PM and at present I have 24 watchers on one and 12 watchers on the other. Once I had 80 watchers on an old road racing bike listed with a 2k opening bid.
I got no bids until the last few seconds and then one bid and the item sold. So having watchers is cool but it certainly doesn't mean a successful outcome for the seller. Personally I will actually bid on a small percentage of what I have in the items I'm watching. My watched items used to average 30 but now it is more like 10. End of ramble.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
