Dennis,
After watching some Ebaymaniacs I work with, it seems things have a very distinct pattern. No one that "really" wants that set-up will start the bidding, they just lurk around, circling like sharks looking for the first sign of blood. About 24 hours or so someone will pop in, but if someone actually realizes what a truly great deal this is, then things will get real busy in the last two hours, then 30 minutes, and the last two minutes the fight will be on.
Good luck, & I hope you get around $4500-$5k
Hey, you deserve a Merry Christmas also!
