Did I make a mistake listing my Rankin on ebay??

Greetings inexperienced newbie here - since Ya'll are the Authority on cuffs of every kind I was wondering if you could offer a beginner a bit of advice -
after discovering a few more plumbing leaks.... I decided to list my Rankin Handcuffs on ebay ... without reserve -
my better half freaked + wanted me to pull + put reserve or in a different format - so far only 49$bid but doent end til Nov1 , my thoughts are just see what happens and fix what pipes I can with whatever they happen to go for -
[[I have had several contact + ask me to end + name cash price but I dont want to do that]]
any thoughts from ya'll would be welcome -
thank you very much for any comment
Happy Cuff Collecting;-)

Many ebay deals like yours sit for a long time before anyone bids.
You can expect a lot of activity in the last day, hours and even seconds.

Yes, Mary, you made a mistake! You blocked bidders from Germany (and I guess all non US buyers). So there are quite a lot collectors e.g. from old and new Europe, who are not able to bid!

The only way your listing would have been a mistake is if you would have listed the handcuffs with a low "buy it now" price. which you did not do. You can tell by your ebay summary page how many people are watching this auction. Your auction answers all questions that I would want answered in an auction. mainly a good accurate description of the condition of the handcuffs with real clear pictures and up front shipping cost. They should still bring fair market value.
