When’s the best time to sell records on eBay – The results

Selling records on eBay

Previously I proposed an experiment. Sell 7 mint records over 7 different days. Here are the results for selling records on ebay, listed in sales order, over roughly a 5 month period.

In Summary

Considering all the potential variants and throwing them to one side, my less than scientific experiment has determined that the best day for eBay results to sell…is a Tuesday.

Unfortunately the source of my 7 mint and sealed records has come to a close, so until I can find another pot of gold under a rainbow. That’s my experiment concluded.
