Whens the best time to put up an auction in your opinion? Got a boxed console to sell in December and I want to get the most coverage possible.

I'd agree with the evening thing. Even if they aren't on the computer in the evenings normally, they will be that night if really interested in what ever you're selling

Do 'Buy It Now' as well, costs a tiny bit more, but may get it sold, especially coming up to Christmas.

In my experience buying Sunday afternoon/evening is the lowest price in the whole week.

Saturday is not much better

I always aim to end mine either mid morning or early evening.

Evenings, but i just usually list anytime in the evening and not too fussed what day it finishes...

Always get top dollar, but 90% of the time i have a buy it now too and most of the time it sells with this so i get what i want anyway.
