selling on ebay question...?

put my car on ebay...it's a cabriolet classic, had 64 watchers and not one of them bid on the final minutes when it ended this evening, why would this be? I understand some people may just be interested in seeing how much it sells for but 64 people doing the same thing or is ebay just a total waste of time to sell cars these days...baffled.

Update:

have to mention that i did get bids on the car, reserve was not met, just cannot understand 64 people just "watching" it for no specific reason, one or two maybe, not 64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They want to see for how much you will sell your car, probably because they are selling something similar. It happens often. You will have to put your car for sale on ebay again and again until eventually someone will bid on it. Good luck.

    I'll often watch something just to see how well it does.

    It can also be handy when it doesn't sell to see if it the start price gets reduced for next time.

    Did you set a starting price?

    Edit: Sounds like you had the reserve too high. A lot of people will watch to see when the reserve gets hit and only then will they start bidding. If I see a car with 'reserve not met' I don't bid on it, usually the reserve is set too high.

    My dad and mom used to do various advertising on Ebay and various the time they might look to cutting-edge activities to settle on what to purchase. that they had a exceptionally extensive decision of books, political and activities memorabilia. they might see what politicians, activities figures or activities have been interior the information and can sell something that they had that replaced into suitable. i think of that what sells on Ebay is in all probability an ever-changing element.

    Very simple - the reserve was considered too high by anyone who wanted one

    Some people may have been watching as they have one and want to see what it went for.

    they clicked on to see the car that`s all, didn`t like maybe the start price or even details about the car it wasn`t you. just not everything goes on ebay ... keep trying maybe lower the start price if any or give more details or photo`s.
