Ken does raise several good points from the sellers viewpoint. More than a few buyers are clueless. He knows his market and list accordingly. Most important he wants to sell his items and tries to be realistic in both his starting price and what he hopes to get as a final price. He knows a Lefever Nitro Special 12, in beat up condition, is not a $1,200.00 gun. He knows the difference between a Fox A grade and the later Savage lower quality look alike.
Most of the problem that I think people are having with non selling items is that they will stay on the auction for months or years. It is just so much crap you have to ignore to see what is really listed to sell. I think that a listing fee for any gun that has not sold when listed three times in a year is a reasonable thing. Sellers get three free listings of a gun then have to pay to keep it listed after that. This would get rid of most of these dead listings and motivate the seller to set the selling price at a more realistic price if they want to sell. A seller could not list a hundred guns for months on end at prices which will never be reached. If you want to sell a gun then do it or get off the site. Do not list the same over priced klunkers for years hoping for a sucker.
