<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I found out about this term from Betty(Boop005). A "sleeper" auction is an auction that is usually a SUPER great item, but for some reason not many bidders found the link; so the item goes real for a real inexpensive price.

This happens sometimes when the seller i.e. does not realize what they have or lists the item with terms that are too generic....such as "brown haired doll" or "purple dress".

I think most bidders goggle specifically; such as "Pleasant Co or Company", American Girl, the name of the outfit or doll etc.
