Obsessed with eBay Auction Watchers

You guys are going to hate me for writing about this again, but I'm obsessed with the people who watch my listings!!  One of the dresses I have up for sale currently has 17 watchers - a personal best for me - but only one bid, and no one has used the ridiculously low Buy It Now price of $24.99.  I mean, this beauty to the right is certainly worth more than that, don't you think?

Anyway, I discovered there is such a thing as a watcher counter and I put it on my most popular auctions so I can see what happens.  I half expect to wake up and find I sold one of those dresses, because if it were me seeing that there are 12 other people out there coveting my item, any one of whom could "Buy It Now" at any second, I'd definitely want to pull the trigger first!!

Incidentally, for those of you who are also sellers, you can find the watcher counter widget at http://www.watchcount.com/widget-info.php.  I'll let you know how my experiment goes if you want to hold off on using it.
