Trying to decide whether to end auctions on Memorial Weekend-

I generally list some items with no reserve auctions to end on Sunday nights.  I have not had the best of luck with auctions on certain Holidays, but don't remember if Memorial weekend was one of them!  anyone else think it is worth listing auctions?

thanks, SRK

I list auctions to run through national holidays or long weekends but not end on them. That way I will have items visible to people who are off work for the holiday and might want to bid on something now or later, but I don't have to mess around with packing purchases when I'd rather be out grilling, socializing, etc.

Don't forget, the Post Office is closed the following Monday as well.

Yes, I usually list Thursday with 10 day auction, so it spans 2 weekends.  If I list today, that means it ends the Sunday of Mem weekend....

 I think I will wait until next Thursday for my ' no reserve' auctions.  I still do a lot of buy it nows everyday though.

Thank you -

Yes I think you should list because you have nothing to lose and  also because  the things that have  happened  in the past  don't always dictate the future . Tulips
