I collect old toys from FP- thanks for listing this! The closer to the very end of the auction the more bids you get- you can tell by how many are watching what may happen... the more watching the more likely your credits will go up up up in the last 10 minutes of the auction. The reason you want to leave it up for 7 days is to give all these Listians a chance to happen upon your item and set it on their watch list. That's what I've learned so far and I'm relatively new. Fanned and watching...
