I think the lack of auctions is just a sign of the tough times, if things change to the positive again I would expect to see a lot more open ended auctions.
On ebay while I dont think their pricing changes have helped I just dont think they make anywhere as much difference vs what your items sells for. All it takes is to have one card you purchased for $77 sell for $17 and you will see why many are listing cards with high starting bids or as BIN's. I prefer auctions as I know I will get cash soon but I also dont like to get hammered on what I am selling so I try to do a mix to protect myself.
My store BIN sales the last 6 weeks has been as good as any time for me in the last 4 years, not really sure why but lots of cards have been selling.
