I agree that ebay is filled with overpriced BINs. Just want to play devil's advocate.
I sell on ebay using BINs, and I try to have fair prices. One problem with selling things at market prices is that people quickly buy up your best inventory. Whenever I get a chance to buy a nice group of cards, the best stuff (Cobbs, Mattys, Youngs etc) gets bought up pretty quick, and my inventory starts looking less and less appealing until I have my next opportunity to add new stuff.
There is definitely some (though hard to quantify) value to maintaining quality inventory. Is it enough value to make up for not turning your inventory over, and paying ebay to list the same Ruth card for years? Not to me, but I can imagine that some sellers might have reasons why it makes sense for them.
