Election (totally non political)

If multiple people are looking for what you are selling, then there is never a bad time.

Couldn't agree more. NFL is over saturation and boring games. A game is always on and usually it sucks. Looks like that golden goose has been bled dry.

Part of the problem with the NFL is that yes, you have Green Bay and so forth, but it just doesn't have the "flavor" that college football does, and college football has lost a lot of that. In college, you have different offenses, Michigan has the big house, Florida has the swamp, Clemson has death valley, etc... The NFL is a faceless league and after a while it all looks the same. Granted if you are playing it is intense as all can be, but for a fan it can be boring. The key to the NFL's popularity is twofold. 1) Tremendous betting / fantasy 2) it is once a week, so somewhat of an event.

Well, as expected I was absolutely killed last night on my auctions. Who could have guessed that there would be little attention paid to Internet baseball card auctions ending at 11pm last night?

You're not alone. Didn't get killed but lost a bit.

A Jackie 1949 Leaf PSA 6 sold last night on PWCC for $7800. Was a $12,000 card a few months ago. That's not an obscure card, but an iconic one. Prominently displayed at the Met. Either due to really lousy timing or the correction is really here.
