Auction ending soon and bids are pretty low?

Auction ending soon and bids are pretty low?
I am a first-time seller on eBay and I am auctioning off my iPod Touch 5th Generation 16gb. It's relatively new. I started the auction off at $0.99 and it only has 22 hours left, and the highest bid I have is $91. Is it normal for an iPod to have this low bid or should I be a little worried? Do people usually bid at the last minute?

Thanks in advance. Sorry if I sounded like a worrywart haha

oh, you should have put a minimum bid cap. And yes, most people bid near the end.

Usually you'll get snipe bids at the last minute for most items. But, just in case, check the title; a single misspelling could cost you missed searches and lost bids. Do a search of your item yourself and make sure it can be found easily. Also check your description, shipping charges and any other information that might potentially scare away bidders.
In the future, consider researching the market for similar items before you decide to sell yours. Look for potential changes in your listing that could attract your item instead of the competition's.

Well if you are so worried you can always violate the ebay ToS and put in a self bid using another account, and just bite the EBAY and PayPal charges if it fails to raise the final price.

EXCELLENT answer, Mark G. Damn nice.
Thank you.

OR you could have a friend bid on it and just say hell with it.
