Listing my frame on ebay...what time to list?

I'm going to sell my special frame because it does not fit me. I love the craftsmanship but it just won't work. I'm wondering what the best time to list and end is? Should I list it this Sunday, later at night? My master plan is to sell it over the course of 10 days and strike a deal with a local craigslister. Then of course I will boast with photos on the forum of my new ride...

I've found that a 10 day auction, starting on Thursday night, ending Sunday night, not too late for East Coast folks works best. That way you get two weekends of viewing.

Good Luck

You might want to hold off until the spring or include a reserve. IMHO, this isn't the best time to sell, But it's a great time to buy!

Just so you know, you can post your listing at any time and set the start/finish time for a dime. Getting it on the system early gives you plenty of time to go back and tinker with it before it goes live.
