I am attentive to my ebay sales; try to take nice pictures, write something cogent about the item that gives a potential buyer an easy to read and at least minimally interesting pitch, and then pick a day and time when I think most people will likely be home bidding. Sunday night in the US is a good one.
So I did all that, put two cymbals out there and the bidding ended just now, Sunday evening, Fourth of July. Just about the time most folks in the US are either eating barbeque or starring at fireworks.
Turned out OK, but you never know how it might of gone. 
Happy Fourth, everyone! You too, Goki!
