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.
