So that nice Mamiya C220 I was selling sat there all week with absolutely no bids. There were like 20 people watching it, but no bids. I simply didn't get it. I know I priced it fairly.

Then 90 seconds before the auction was going to end, it got its first bid. Then another bid, then a final bid. Price was driven up by $5 over my starting price.

Don't people have better things to do in their lives than sit around watching auctions so they can try to snipe?

Similar thing with my Nikon. It went days before its first bid. Then it dicked around at $75-80 until a few minutes before the end when it shot up to $150.

People really like the auction experience.

But I've got 3 boxes packed and ready to go for shipment tomorrow. Signature required for delivery. Live and learn.
