Sorry.
Many part time sellers use BINS to list items they would not sell except for the price asked. They don’t really want to sell.
Some sellers see no need to discount big names like Ruth or Mantle. Why should they? Holding vintage Ruth cards has been one of the best moves over the last several years.
Another factor: replacing an inventory of prewar baseball cards is not like replacing an inventory of cleaning supplies. It is very difficult. A seller has to wring out the maximum return and speed is just one component to consider.
Unless I am raising bail I don’t need to sell an appreciating card quickly and I have little incentive to sell cheap. If eBay was to charge a listing fee for repeat BINS I would simply stop listing them.

Finally someone I agree with.
