E-Bay - Watchers
19 Answers
I am pretty new to selling on EBay - I am offloading some demo CD's i have collected over the years.
One I know to be rare, it's a limited edition and mine is unplayed.
It's on auction, with three days to go, and there are 28 watchers on it - i suspect this may be a lot, but i have no idea.
Can I expect a mad frenzy of bidding at the end, and the price to go through the roof, or do watchers just have a look to see what items fetch?

That might explain...

As you've suggested though, some 'watchers' are probably just checking on what items do, or don't sell for (possibly so that they can then price their own items for sale accordingly). That might explain why items which are only offered on a 'buy it now' basis (with no auction involved) still seem to get plenty of watchers.

I have to admit, I wouldn't buy something "unplayed" on Ebay... just in case it didn't work. There's no comeback if the seller admits they haven't heard it.
I have only done one aution on Ebay, as a buyer... as ar as I'm aware the "watchers" didn't mean anything. I put in my highest bid I was prepared to pay, and got it for much less. But, I think that was because I had put a reasonable price in. I wouldn't take too much notice of "watchers". They are pointless unless they bid...

Umm, none of the DC's you or I, and I would guess anyone else, has ever got a blank CD.
Promo (I may have said 'demo' in error, it's late, are the same as standard cd's, they are marked on the disc, or the sleeve, or both, as being press advance copies, which makes them collectable, especially limited edition ones - mine is one of five hundred.
