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.
