....is the best to end auctions on? I'm willing to bet a lot of you have enough experience to help me out here.

Thanks!

Don't know what's best for sellers, but a large proportion of old-skool gaming auctions end Sunday afternoon/early evening.

I do mine every Saturday night.  I mostly sell minis.  It may not be the best time, but I've got a lot of repeat buyers, and I believe the consistency is as important as the time/day.   Picking a time that's good for the east coast, west coast and Europe (my biggest concentrations of buyers) is impossible.  I hope this helps!

I end my auctions on Sunday night, and that seems to work well.  Lots of folks are home relaxing, browsing the internet.  Including me, usually!  When I first started selling, another seller advised me to try Sundays, and so I pass that advice on to you.  Good luck!

I usually try to end my auctions on Sunday late afternoon/early evening as well.  It is my experience that Sunday evening between 4 pm and 7 pm EST is the best.  That way on the West Coast of the US they are ending between 1 pm and 4 pm and in Europe they are ending between say 9 pm and 1 am.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Do you think that ending on a weekend people will forget to bid? They might be busy with family and weekend activities they put off during the week?
