Damn, 3 days , 3hrs to go and £30! this isn't looking to good. I didn't put a reserve on it. maybe a bad move.
Is this deflation kicking in already?

I wouldn't be too worried with 3 days to go. Most people on ebay will wait until the last few minutes to put their bids in, in the hopes that by not bidding early the price will stay low and no one will notice it
This early in the auction the number to watch is the "watchers", how many people have tagged your auction to keep an eye on it. They are likely going to be bidding later.
Everything I have sold on ebay had a flurry of activity in the last 5-10 minutes with people auto-bidding each other up. Good luck!

how many watchers do you have? I've sold many instruments on ebay. I started most of them at dollar. Juno 106, many tr 606s, sp 202 , microkorg ,tr 707 , tr 626 , all my electribes ,ms2000 , and some old sequential circuits . I always made my money back cept for a few 606s.

I'm on 21 watchers so not so bad.
Same amount of watchers on the mpd32 and xio synth - but much higher bids curiously.

I'll take what comes anyway. Got a bargain onyx satellite interface at £60 and a micro kontrol for £135 this week, so can't complain really!

Everyone who knows what they're doing does this, so don't worry
