Best days for ending a flippa.com auction

8 replies
I'm thinking about flipping one of my websites on flippa.com. I've heard it said that some days yield better results (i.e. higher prices) for items on eBay, so I was wondering if the same held true on flippa -- or is one day just as good as another? Just curious.

    You can try to end your auctions on sunday.I've been selling info products on there for years and I always got the best results there.

    I wouldn't know about flippa in particular, but noon Tuesday's seems
    to be a busy day online.

    Most guru product launches happens on Tuesday's at this time, and some gurus preach as being the most responsive day/time.

    On another note, Tuesday's seems to be the busiest weekdau at airports..

    Well, I've had a good success rate on Flippa and done a lot of auctions, but I'm afraid to say I've been less than scientific in monitoring which days do best :S

    It all depends - because sometimes you will list an auction that also has a Buy It Now price, and it will end up selling that day, or the next, and won't last til the day you end it. On top of that, if your auction DOES last until the last day, but you get a new bid in the last 4 hours, your auction gets extended by four hours, so could end up finishing on a day you didn't originally plan.

    I always list my auction on a weekday, and end it on a weekday. I try not to let it end on Friday evenings, but other than that any weekday is fine. For me it usually ends on a Thursday or Tuesday. I have a good feeling about Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but like I said I haven't really noted all the details down when I've sold.

    With that in mind my main tips would be:
    a) don't list to start OR end on weekends
    b) think carefully about the time zone of your target buyers and think what time to list as well as what day.

    Hope that helps a little!

      How about timing? What time is the best time for the auction to end on Flippa? For myself, early afternoon is the best time for some of my best results. What to you all suggest?

    A 8 day auction starting from Sunday morning and ends at Sunday midnight.
    That always worked for me.

    I try to end them at night, so that people are around to bid in all time zones. This can be annoying if it goes late into the night and people find themselves getting up at 4am.

    For me it has worked best to run 5-7 day auctions, listings during the week, avoiding the week-ends at all costs.

    This may help...Travis does a great job if you are seriously interested in flipping websites.
