For many sellers it's the only way to get exposure for their items in a store or retail setting on the internet. So they have to keep on rotating those items on Ebay.
It's just like a brick and mortar or any other collectibles business. All items are not liquid and many times you are just waiting for the right collector to come along. You might not sell something until 10 years after you list it up, but if you don't keep it listed it will never sell.
I would encourage somebody like Rhys to expand his website into a functional shopping cart with pictures and descriptions, similar to what he does on Ebay. Since he carries fairly unique items, I don't think he would have trouble gaining traffic, he would save a ton of money on Ebay fees, would be able to park items as long as he wanted and he wouldn't have to continually re-list items in a revolving door policy and worry about the next policy change from Ebay that's going to have to make you revise thousands of listings every time they come up with another brilliant idea.
