Best time to start auctioning a villager?

[elsh]

Freya just announced that she'll be moving September 11th. Naturally, I looked up how valuable she is, and found out she's fairly popular. I have never auctioned a villager, though, and I WILL NOT time travel, so I don't know when the ideal time to begin the auction would be. I could wait til she's packed up, but then won't know if people interested will see the post in time. Any suggestions?

I'd start either the day before she's packed up or the day before that!

Thanks for your input!

Actually, if you started today, you'd probably get a higher price. People seem to forget that the bids don't really matter until the final five mins. XD

Hmm, I would start the day she's in boxes or the day before.
But I'm probably biased because I do TT and when I bid I hate having to wait for days and watch the price sky rocket before the last few minutes.

I would personally (for my own benefit), start as soon as she declares the date. Auctions with a longer bidding period tend to escalate a bit more than those within the day.

Since they said Freya was moving on the 11th and this thread is 11 days old, I'm guessing she's already auctioned her.
