I started an auction a few days ago, and I'm having a really hard time getting it going at a pace that makes it feel worth while.

+I'm trying to make sure I start bids extremely cheap, around the prices I'd place these lions on the trading center or less. Some bids start as 30sb for reference.

+I've got mixture of lions I find particularly beautiful despite their low overall value as well as more valuable lions (a combo and a mutie)

+I've been advertising it in the sales chat and bumping it multiple times daily.

I see other auctions popping off that I'm sure have the privilege of being older and more established, which is fair, but they're selling lions with the same marking tiers/base rarities as mine but at a much higher starting bid and extremely consistently for that matter. It just confuses me if it's truly just a matter of them having existed for longer that gives them that opportunity or whether I'm genuinely missing out on something I should be doing here.

Is the market just over saturated? Is it worth starting an auction rn? Or am I doing something wrong? I wouldn't be upset if it was some fault of my own or even just not a worthwhile market to break into at this point in time, but I'm just wondering if it's a project worth pushing through this early slow stage or just an effort I should drop for the time being in favor of finding another way to make some money.

Thank you for any input anyone has! It's much appreciated if you took the time out to read and reply to my queries, or offer any advice :)
