The Canada Post Strike ruined today's auctions... | Selling

So I had auctions running this week. When you shut the store down, the auctions stay up. I let them run rather than cancel bids and end them. A couple Canadian buyers placed their bids before the strike and won something, but the majority was won by a regular US bidder (who bids every week), for the minimum bid amount. Normally I would have had several ending for $3-5 each, but most of today's auctions ended for 1.39. I'm blaming the lack of turnout and bidding on the Canada Post Strike. (Entirely possible it's a coincidence that there wasn't much bidding... but I've been doing these auctions for years, and there's usually at least some tokens that turn out with good bids). C.
