I've noticed with my auctions, some things will barely get a page view, yet other sellers who have the same thing will have lots of bids and their item sells for a ridiculously high price, while mine relists with 1 page view. I wonder if their bidders are regulars who 'follow' them, so get messages about their items. Maybe my start prices are too high? I learned early in the peace not to start at 99c because that's what everything was selling for and I was effectively paying someone to take my items off my hand.

Other times I will have auctions relist and relist and relist and barely get a page view, let alone a watcher or bidder, then whammo, there will be a bidding war and suddenly there is all this interest in those chronically relisted items. 

As you said, who knows how the eBay vortex works!!

I'm glad this latest offer goes for over a week because I'm working this weekend which will leave time for nothing apart from sleeping and working.....unless I want to list things at 2, 3, 4, 5am (depending on what time I get home and even then, due to needing sleep, time then will be limited). I probably won't be able to use all the 150, but I'll hopefully find some more things to list.
