Why do you WATCH an item?

[cmjewels925]

One reason I put things on my watch list is so that I remember to contact the seller to ask her to author an 'All About' page for me when I get a minute to think what I want on it.

Other than that, it's usually because something catches my eye while I'm working so I put it there to have a proper look at when I have the time. If I checked the item out when I saw it I'd get distracted and never get any work done.

I watch for several reasons. Sometimes I want to think about buying, sometimes it is because I have the same kind of thing to sell, and sometimes it is because I want to see if it ever sells. On the other side I always thought a watcher meant the item might sell. I soon fouund that watchers had little to do with whether an item was going to sell.
