Ebay - Best time to finish auction?

I've got quite a few things to list on Ebay. I've sold a few things on there already but have never fully decided the best time to ensure the auction ends for maximum £££'s & late bidding frenzy.

When do people reckon it's best to end the auction?

Any comments, other suggestions? I seem to be edging towards evening ending.

G.

Ending

My wife has sold 100`s of things and swears by a 10 day listing posted on a Thursday at about 20.00. This covers two weekends and ends on the Sunday time which others seem to favour.

I've been selling on Ebay for about 3 years. The "Square Trade" membership allows you to see a graph detailing the viewing rates for your listings. For all my listings (mostly laptops) the best time has been between 7pm and 9pm on a Friday evening. So now I always use 8pm Friday as an end time.
