Doesn't it seem to others here than more and more Ebay auctions are only being run with, Buy it Now or with high starting bids? Very few auctions are run with low starting bids anymore which offers competition or the potential for a high dollar sale. As a result, most of these seller's items whith the Buy it now or the $500 starting bid don't even get touched or even looked at. I still list the majority of my items as a seller with a $1 starting bid and the results are usually quite gratifying.
