The concept of Auctions vs BIN!!

[lotzofuniquegoodies]

For those who remember the days of crazy, seat of your pants Auction listings. I stumbled across this ended item recently and gave me a bit of chuckle. Because bidding wars are seldom the norm, all my listings are BIN. Possibly early retirement for this seller.  Chuckle, chuckle!!!

Listing was for a New Item specific Power Supply  - Hong Kong - Did not ship to Canada -

Seller Feedback 26 - Average sale under $2.00

Those were fun times back when auctions brought out many bidders. The only time I use auctions now is when offered a promo that specifies auction format only. The items I list these days do not appeal to the auction style crowd...low views and seldom more than 1 watcher is the norm, along with the preference for fixed price format.
