Hello KingConn.....
Many, many items end without bids in all categories......some have an overpriced starting bid.....some are not what they are advertised to be......some people list so much it floods the market.
I have noticed that since the last round of major
ebay changes there seems to be fewer bidders.....but, better material is still attracting decent competition. Although, there is still a significant group of bidders that seems to have no idea what some material is worth and post incredible bids on seemingly common material.
Even though I feel that some fees are too high,
ebay is still a viable option for collectors to sell/auction material that would otherwise just sit in a box.
