We'll definitely do different groups with different times next time around. How many pieces would you think is good for one ending time?
From other auctions I participate, the most common is like 3 mins between each auction.. Personally, I don't like late auctions like after 10pm. The most I've seen is like 400-500 pieces, but I don't think you'll do that

I see, we actually had 350 pieces originally but decided on just listing 75 at first, and narrowed it down to 25 over time

Just under 30 minutes to go... Would you guys like to see more pieces next time around? Or is ~20 or so ideal?
What I found sketchy is that you pulled pieces from the market when no one had bid on them. There was only one Tiger Tail available and the bids on that beauty were already over the top.. Don't drop half of the items from the auction after it has started, that impacts how one bids.

It was a fairly good first auction. I screwed up my first bid, thought it was proxy but it wasn't. One other intial bidder did the same thing. Please help us idiots not make these mistakes.

Thanks for the corals! :smiling-face-with-sunglasses:
