The new $600 Threshold has driven many casual sellers away.
In my experience 50-75% of casual sellers do auctions. While 90% of dealers only do insane bin prices and don’t give any kind of offers or deals (having to buy 30 cards for free shipping isn’t a deal).
This isn’t a big issue for cards with massive volume say ‘60 mantle or a ‘58 koufax, they will always have running auctions, almost 24/7.
But when you get into even the slightest obscurity you hardly see auctions anymore. It’s seemingly Bi-monthly or worse for even a more common food issue. And the ones you do see listed are just sitting on 10,000+ feedback accounts priced 5x too high. Never answering messages or sending any offers, It’s very annoying. I know it’s hard to send an offer when you have 5000 items listed and you get 250 watches a day, but check your items that have been on ebay for 2+ years and maybe give 10% or 20% off your 5x retail price.

Auction houses with 20% bps are becoming more affordable.
