Maybe. But if NOBODY is watching it, it very clearly says either
nobody is interested in that particular item, or (if I know it's an item
of interest) the starting bid is too high. Watchers indicate SOME level
of interest. Sellers will usually drop prices if there is NO interest,
and will be more reluctant to drop prices (and just try it again) if
there is SOME interest.

So leave
the auction open in a browser tab until it ends. When
DOens't that imply yo uhave a machine left running all the time, probably
connected to the internet all the time? That's a luxury that not all of
us have. sellers
(I'm speaking here as a frequent seller) see that there's lots
of interest in an item, they're less likely to relist an item at a lower
price...and FAR less likely to edit an existing listing to raise the
starting price.
Hang on a second. If you list something with a starting bid of, say, $50
and you notice that plenty of people are wathcing the item and yet nobody
bids on it, doesnt; this suggest your starting bid is too high?
