Ok, so either no one we know is interested in any of the DVD or BluRay bags we have up for auction, or everyone’s going to wait until the last day or even the last few minutes of the auction to make any bids at all. I guess that makes sense when I think about it. The earlier you start bidding, the better chance of higher bids being made during the week, or again, just before the auction ends. So if you wait until a minute before the auction ends, then place your $5.00 bid and no one else is around to bid more, it’s yours for $5.00.

I guess I should worry about a DOS attack… Someone could technically make a first bid on each bag a few minutes before end of auction, then hit my site with a DOS attack so no one else can get in and outbid them, then remove the attack after the auction ends. Well, if it’s that important to them, I guess that’s one way to do it, and that’ll work. We’d still be glad to get rid of the bags, and we’d get to meet the hacker in person… or at least have their full mailing address for any legal follow-up we might need to do.

Or maybe there is really no interest. Maybe DVDs and BluRays are history and everyone has already gone 100% digital. We’ll find out for sure this Sunday. All 21 auctions end at the exact same time, so lunchtime will be pretty interesting. Or not. Maybe there’s a different issue with my site and no one can actually create and account or login…I’m probably overthinking it.

I just published an ad containing all DVD photos on 4 different “Kenosha Garage Sale” Facebook pages. We’ll see if that helps. Next time though, we’ll definitely set a much shorter time period for each auction–like 1 or 2 days.
