The highest number of watchers you've had on ebay?

I don't think I've even cracked twenty yet. What kind of numbers do some of you ballers pull? And for what records?

    I'm no ebay baller, but I had around 25 people watching the Bliss - Stomp 12" once, I think that was the highest I've ever had.

    almost 100 for a library record. I think it was Afro Rock on KPM when it was still going strong. And about 80 for the Dee Dee, Berry & The Movements on MPS. Maybe 75 for Trifle - First Meeting on DAWN. I'm still surprised someone paid 210 Euros for my copy. Almost 300 USD.

    I think I broke 100 a couple times.

    it's not the number of watchers, it's the quality of the watchers...

    it is odd when something with 0 watchers sells tho.

    I think the Pelon record had between 70 and 80... I think I broke 100 on the Velvet Undergound banana/sticker cover.

    half of the watchers on any item are other dealers/collectros with no interest in buying that are just watching to see where it lands!

    you mean site visitors or actual watchers ("watch this item")?

    visitors: about 500
  • schoggischoggi 298 Posts
    in my case 800+ visitors... watchers about 200-250 if i remember right...

    3000+ on the karouac beat generation on dot

    Damn. That is serious watch count. I wonder if gawkers just gravitated toward the price or if there are actually that many people out there looking for a record like that.

    Thats probably one of the rarest records evar... I'd wager a good mix of both

    nahhh...about 150 on a Dj Shadow piece...same piece now would get about 12....


    really, I don't think that the watcher aspect really determines the final sale price. Mostly i think the number represents the amount of people who either have the same item and want to know if it's worth selling, or folks who want to see what type of crazy money you're going to see for it.

    ditto on the same record...probably the same watchers too...wondering if that 12's ever gonna pull 5 bills again....
