Item with 222 Views and 6 Watchers -

Item with 161 Views and 4 Watchers -

Item with 147 Views and 5 Watchers -

I have a lot of these types of items....17, 12, 10 watchers and lots of views.  I've sent out a lot of offers to those watchers and I keep getting more watchers on the same items.  If I drop the prices, then I have no room to send offers to other watchers.  One item I listed a few months ago accumulated 44 watchers before it finally sold.  I started that item on the high end price-wise and kept dropping the price a little every now and then.  After I listed it on another platform and dropped the price a final time, it sold.  

 

Maybe I should list all those items with a lot of watchers on another platform?  The other option is starting all over again if there is no room to drop the prices.  Frustrating!

@mynewfindstore   I've actually raised prices on highly Watched items just waiting for someone to message me and ask, "why did you raise the price?" ... has never happened but sometimes the items sell at the higher price, go figure, huh?

I also have items that sell with virtually no Views and no Watchers BUT have been Relisted about as many times as the higher activity items ...

Every morning, I end items with no watchers and sell similar maybe for about 60 or so items that are ending in the next day.  That strategy has been helping at least I think!  But not today!  😞

The reason I said some eBayers might be interested in which items you were referring to is that perhaps someone might be able to give you a possible reason. ie...if you put keywords like Art Deco Clock, or HO Locomotive you will get a ton of lookers, but if it is an inexpensive common model, no sales maybe. And remember that many people 'watch' items as a selling tool, to see if it sells. Then they will sell theirs or not sell theirs according to results.
