In addition to being rather difficult to find, the market for the items that I’m willing to sell is often also very thin. So selling in an auction typically is a poor mechanism to reach the handful of people that might be interested in buying them, at least at the highest price, since only 1 or 2 of those people might be in the market and paying attention during the window for my auction, whereas it can stay open for years until the right person comes along through the BIN feature.
