Have a ton of games to sell - when should I end the auction for maximum bidders & highest price?
Sunday 9pm est - prime time
Monday 1pm est - lunch time
Monday 9pm est?
Had good results with Monday at lunch but - maybe Sunday night is better???

Sunday is always the best.

Asking as someone who has yet to sell something on Ebay, does it really matter which ending day? Is there a noticeable difference?

More people shop on Sunday night -vs- Wednesday at 8 a.m. when everyone's driving to work. The goal is to end the auction when people are at their computers.
You see it in stores too. Saturdays or Sundays are the busiest days. Tuesday is slowest.

Where are good places to advertise my annual auction? Digitpress - rpgamer.com - where else?

I always find that ending on a sunday works well! I try to end it at around 9 pm EST time

Ending your auction on Sunday night will clearly get you the most exposure and maximum amount of hits, but it will also bring on the most amount of competition. Many sellers end on Sunday.
Sunday is the best choice for uncommon and rare titles. You may wish to schedule the more common items on a different night.

Great advice! My games are all common - Mario Paper - Puyo Pop - Fzero - so probably lots of other sellers out there selling the same stuff! I will aim for Monday night.
