If someone is interested they will buy.
Have you considered sending the watchers an offer? If you already done so,you cannot send another.

How do I send watchers an offer in an auction? I have not done that yet nor do I see the option to?

Push bidding, you mean? You can promote the listing on social media. There are still a few days left and a lot of bidders wait until the last minute.
Reserves are pricey and you pay that fee whether the item sells or not. While reserves do have value sometimes, for most items it's better to start the auction at your reserve price instead of paying for the reserve.

Never mind, didn't realize it was an auction.

Would you reconsider your no-return policy? Many buyers shy away from that. And not wanting returns doesn't mean you wouldn't have to refund.

Ditch the auction and reserve and list as a fixed price for the price you want.
If it doesn't reach the reserve, you'll still have to pay the fee for using it.

Have to agree with Ken that you should have listed at a high fixed price and accepted offers. Auctions are really only good on high FOMO items these days and tend to attract low ballers and resellers looking for a deal. A buyer willing to pay for a rare collectible like this will eventually find it when listed fixed price.
I also think it would have done better if it was sold raw or re-graded by PSA/Beckett. From what I've seen, TAG not exactly considered reputable among Pokemon collectors.
BTW according to PSA, the last sold 9 went for $1500 so you may be in the correct range at $600 +/- for a 3 from a less known grader.

If you use "push it past" to mean 'shill bidding'... don't go that route. It's already up over your last starting bid. Hip! Hip!
