So i am selling my max spray on the bay and it has 4 days left but people have bid it up to $610....I have never sold something this expensive on ebay and my question is why people do that? Are they trying to figure out the reserve? Also there are 26 people watching it...I have never seen that before...Does that mean that they are going to bid?

Sounds like a first rate donkey race.

Tough to say, bud. I auctioned off some Cambodian breast milk(the real stuff), and i had 44 watchers. It was up to $3.65 with two days left. By the time it sold, it had reached $7.50. I'm sure the bids will go up on your auction.

Cool. I don't expect it to hit the reserve but if it does ill sell it for sure...I just want to see it go for what the last one sold for.

Max Spray is one of my favorite mbw pieces. I wouldn't let that go for any less than $1,500.

I've had auctions with 20 watchers and no bid.. I'd say more than half of them are just looking at the price, or once it exceeds their price they'll keep watching but not bid. The last price hike is usually caused by a handful of bidders only.

I agree 100% that it's usually the case. But, I always watch Michael Hussar pieces on ebay(not the mini prints or non desirable prints), the drawings he lists every other month. Each and every time he lists a piece, it skyrockets within the last 30 seconds of bidding. I've been in the hunt for several pieces that are at or around $1,200 with a minute to go. They usually go up to at least $2,200 in the last few seconds.

the watchers really don't mean anything. A lot of times I watch things that I already own just to watch the trend.
Also, when I sold my faile Artists proof book i had 72 watchers, I thought at the very end it was going to go nuts, but only 1 extra bidder :lol:
