Agreed but the point is that most all of the BINers don't care.

For one thing, most of the BINers are selling their own stuff...

Regardless, thanks for the heads up on Yee's latest auction. Always a pleasure to window shop

I don't think they are interested in bringing any common sense to their logic. It's pretty easy to sell another persons items for whatever they end at. Not trying to discount Hyee auctions as they have very fine items with high quality images, I am speaking in general.

[mjkm90]

Easy, but particularly effective. He always seems to get top $$$ by attracting a high # of bidders and the low starting price contributes largely to that interest.

The low starting price saves him money...he's saving 15 cents per listing by starting them at 99 cents instead of $9.99. He knows with his clientele that every single item is going to sell and it's going to sell well so why not save some money. Jonsstats does this too...smart businessmen.

I think that's the key. The saving money on listing fees might have been a factor before as well, but since May 1, it costs the same to list a 99-cent item as it does a $99k item at auction. Also, since Yee adds a subtitle for all or nearly all of his auction listings (which costs more than the listing itself, despite subtitles not being searchable), I don't think up-front listing fees are so much of a factor compared to the problem of having "leftovers" when you only run 3-4 auctions a year. Easier to list everything at a price guaranteed to sell, clean house, then start over for the next auction.
