    Default Are Bidders on vacation? or just getting wiser???????

    I was checking out the auctions and for slot usa they got a wide range of pachis with 6-9hrs. to go and they are hovering around 15-40 bux. And alot of the ones that are bidding are newbies. Hmmmm, is all the bidders on vacation? or are they getting smarter and waiting till the last minute?

    Most all their auctions close at the exact same time! This is dumb marketing -- if a person is interested in several, it's going to be difficult to snipe in on them all within the last seconds.

    It's ridiculous marketing. They are eliminating their own potential for increased profits. If someone was wanting this one and then that one, well they have to choose one and sit on it. If they win, great. If not, they're out this week. If they'd only stagger them 5 minutes apart, someone who doesn't win one might go onto a second or third in an attempt to win. After all, at that time they are in the buying mood.

    I actually had 2 computers going at the end there trying to back up my bid for the Apollo. I made my max bid cuz I went to bed early but woke up with 17 minutes to go & changed my mind on my max bid.
    So I hid behind a rock & I knocked off the 1st attack with my trusty laptop with a only few seconds to go. But alas poor Yorick, it t'werent enough & I took one in the belly & then the coup de gras came between the eyes & left me flailing in the dust.

    Well, back to the title, I was at the lake (again) all weekend and I think people are away from their computer too.

    I vote that some are getting wiser... either that, or the ebay newbies were gone. Big snipes on LOTR Pachinko (went for over list) and a few others.

    summer is always slow for slot sales. Too uch going on, no one is staying indoors to paly them. Great time for buyers and poor time for sellers, it all changes come October though!

    It's not been a slow time for the Pachinkos... they've been selling well.

    I didn't notice a down turn in pachinkos last year either. You have to figure that on average there's about 400 slots for sale durning any given week and only about 40 or so pachinkos. I think this more than anything is keeping the price high. More sellers will bring the prices down as more people will have something to bid on.
