Full Throttled

I notice when you re-list things that had lots of watchers, suddenly they will have a bid, though they did not the first round. It's almost as if cheapskate buyers were waiting for you to re-list in hopes of you dropping your price. I no longer do that. I just relist to send them a clear message that, no, I won't get raped on the price of this item.

I also believe in throttling. And, I might add that these were listings I paid for. They were not free.

I had 2 clocks for sale. One had 100+ views and about 30 watchers. It sold. The other, 16 views and 1 watcher, it did not sell. I relisted it after March 1 and voila! Nearing 70 views and 9 watchers. It's the same clock, same listing, only now somehow the visibility went up, maybe I was hitting their predetermined hidden limit they had for me in February, so they had to "throttle" me, lol. God forbid they get more FVF fees. 

I have this My Little Pony thing up right now. One with a damned haircut sold a month or 2 ago for over $100 with the shipping, and I could not even get the start bid on mine, and it's priced at about half of what the other one sold for, and in better shape. I refuse to price it any lower. It's going for that price or I'll just chuck it on Etsy for double the price and leave it there for months until someone caves in and pays it, lol.
