One thing that many eBay subscribers overlook is the

feature of some auctions. In my opinion, that's where the real gold can
be.
Yup, in both directions.
People seem completely clueless about what a reasonable offer is, on both sides.
The cheapest listings are BIN, and are very efficient at getting rid of things.
To put it bluntly, I list high and expect reasonable
offers, which rarely happen.
Sometimes I guess low on the BIN price. If there are an insane number of views
and no one bites, I RAISE the price. Eventually, someone buys it.
If something isn't moving, I kill the listing, lower the price, and relist.
There are no cost to do this.
I see a few people abuse this, relisting every couple of days to keep their junk
in the new listings.
In my opinion, eBay's fixed-period auctions are a waste of time.
