Whens the best day/time to end a domain auction

[mally]

Has anyone put any thought into when to end a domain auction (for example domainlore etc)

Cheers Mally

Mon-Fri in the afternoon about 3pm (after most people are back from lunch usually!).

I normally try to end mine between 2 and 3 pm and on a weekday

seems to have worked ok for me

Either on a Friday or the last day of the month, payday for most.

agh good point, middle of Jan is probs not the best idea either

I’d say identify target audience most names have one ensure auction end is suitable them? Avoid end/ start of day holidays etc and times there busy research when they start advertising/promotions etc most important make sure they know its for sale….

I once purchased a property for half the price I thought I’d have to pay simply because the auctioneer for reason only known to them decided to hold the auction on a Saturday on 24th December at 4pm and only posting catalogues out three weeks before? Result auction that would normally have 150 odd people there had less than a handful so timing is a big factor
