As of 2pm today, bidding has been open for 54 hours, which leaves 54 more until the bidding forms close at 8 PM Eastern, Saturday March 9th.
Behind the scenes your mods are marveling at the numbers.
You would think that with 33% more auctions than last year (which, remember, was already our largest year ever), the bids would be spread a little thinner than usual, right?
But that's not what's happening.
The percentage of auctions with one bid halfway through has actually gone up by 8%! That's right, with 33% more auctions, we have 50% more bids! And the percentage that have multiple bids has gone up by 10%.
You guys are ON IT.
Of course, if your auction doesn't have one yet, don't fret! While we can't guarantee every auction will get a bid, we know that a lot of people do wait until the last minute.
To help those people find unbid auctions, we'll be tagging golden needles this time tomorrow.
And as a quick reminder, the Craft Bazaar is open! New stalls were added through March 5, so if you looked before then, you might look again to browse the new crafts offered.
