[Milsurplus] Best time to end eBay auctions ?

I've done quite a bit of Ebay; it's
the only way I can pay for my collecting :).
IMHO, end your auctions Sunday night 9PM eastern,
+ or - an hour or so.
I can't speak to 3-day vs. 7-day, as I've
rarely done a 3-day.  
That being said, of late I've often gone with 
a fixed, "But It Now" price.
The advent of sniping killed the 
human-nature effect of auctions that brought
higher selling prices, so there's less incentive
to sit and wait 7 days for 15 seconds of sniping.
Not that I decry sniping; I do it myself.
