Default Why do cards at auction sell for more?

I would like to hear some thoughts on why cards sell for more in auction than privately? I can't count the number of times I have seen a card (or owned one) that wouldn't sell for a long time at a fixed price. Then when put in a good auction setting, with a low starting price, it goes for more than the previous fixed price that was on it. I put one card in auction one time and forgot to take it off my fixed price site. The card sold for more than the fixed price and the buyer asked if he could get it at the fixed price. I said it was an auction and that was the price, I just forgot to end the private listing.
I have some ideas but would like to get others views..
