Is there any logic to waiting until after Black Friday to list higher end items?

I know that now, or even a month ago would be the best time to list things that people would be looking to give as Christmas gifts, and that there is a point where people will wait until Black Friday to see what they can find, but is there any logic to waiting until the last say 2-3 weeks to list something to catch those that feel they are almost out of time and have one last chance to get these things? But not too late that they fear that it won't make it on time.

Like is there frenzied competition in the last light before Christmas?

I don't have much experience as a seller, but I have found myself as the person in the scenario above, so I'm 50-50 on holding out or not.

Thanks for any advice on my probably idiotic question.

My best,

And if it's listed it may NOT sell, but for sure can't if it's not.

You got to be in it to win it. 

Ugh. I really need to list my next batch of items. Thank goodness they don't pay the bills. Reading some of the stuff I see on this community forum, a lot of respect for those who grind at it every day to make a living, dealing with capricious buyers and poor seller support.

No.  I just noticed that my packages all seem to have slowed down being delivered the last two weeks.  Not sure why as there are no big storms and there should not be a holiday rush yet.....  Usually  I can mail something Thursday/Friday and it gets there by Monday.  It is taking a full week now!

Nah - list now. A lot of people couldn't care less about Black Friday, and even if they did, why get crowded in with all of that frenzied competition? Get the jump on it!
