I've heard Saturday and Sunday evenings around 9:00p.m. CT are best for ending your auctions.

This auction "autopsy" thread was interesting.

Saturday evening around 10 CT netted me absolutely abysmal results, but I don't know if that was more related to the time of the year than the time of the week.

I always do a 10 day starting on Friday that way it gets both Saturdays and part of second Sunday. Just my Two Cents.
This would actually make a lot of sense.

This is a tough time of year in any year (June to Sept.) but with the economy the way it is, 2009-2010 have hit many sellers hard. Coin World has run several articles over the last couple years on numismatic sales and 3 points seem to come up a lot.

One is related to precious metals; coins that have a large percentage of their value based on their silver or gold content continue to sell well. The second is true rarities; they continue to sell well and bring big bucks even if it's a touch less than the 2006-2007 highs. And last is the common-man or everyday collectors; they have tighter budgets but are the mainstay of the hobby. It's still a buyer's market on most pieces under $500 that are true numismatic collectibles because times are still tough for a great many people.

That could explain why I often get a bargain these days, but also often get outbid. It could be even more important to stand out properly to buyers in an economy like this. The people I bid from are typically low-mid feedback sellers who probably don't get much attention. I have definitely noticed what you said about coins with a large portion of bullion value. Same with popular key dates. It also seems on more common higher grade coins, and its also a buyers market though a bit less so on slabbed pieces. I got a pretty good deal on a PCGS MS-65 FH Standing Liberty quarter awhile ago but I guess that tends to be somewhat anomalous because most sellers don't try to sell coins that high end off easily.

This is definitely a good thread, since while I consider myself pretty adept at US type coins in general and buying stuff, I am not very advanced at selling. There seem to be quite a lot of things that did not seem to matter that really do, since its more complicated than I realized.

$705 on this 1892-O barber half. Saw an XF go for over $800 so this seems to be a pretty garbage price. Wonder why...
