Unfortunately, a bag is only worth as much as any one person is willing to pay 
I know on the Chloe forum there's a lot of angst over how difficult it is to sell Paddington's. I think that it's a seasonal thing and also because people on Ebay are looking for "deals"
Resale value on some bags isn't as high as others.
For example, it seems like your classic Speedy will always sell well, so will anything from the MC lines, limited editions and runway bags...
I agree that something like a messenger might be a better seller in the fall. Hopefully though, some of those watchers will pan out.
I find that on items that are more specific and less listed on ebay, the more likely a few people will get into a bidding war.
Oh-as an Ebay veteran, I always bid within the last 10 seconds of an auction.

I searched and found your bag - beautiful! If I didn't just buy that Baggy GM I would grab this! I have to admit I really never looked at this bag much before -- it's gorgeous!
I agree with the others -- many buyers will snipe at the end, including me. I don't use a program to snipe -- I do it myself and always get 2 seconds left when my bid goes through. Nobody has ever outsniped me (unless they went higher)!
With the BIN, I bet you'll sell fast.

I hope y'all are right about the sniping. I really need to sell! You all have given me a little confidence though. Thanks guys.
