They are BIN listings with starting prices higher than eBay BIN listings most of the time.

Hi no one is telling you to buy or bid in anything ben no one ,,Do you actually think leon who i respect is going to give me and fred our own section,,cmon ben think before you talk omg lol

What do you think would fix the problem in the auction section?

I agree, the same few guys always " auctioning " stuff, and at times go right on the edge of the " only 2 or 3" at one time rule.

also, most starting prices are. like someone said - ridiculously high /overpriced Ebay buy it now " prices

and often re-posting a comment in an auction , to say " hey last day of auction " ..so it jumps to the top ...and most time this item doesnt have a single bid on it

I think the auction page should be for - baseball card pre 1980...and only baseball cards..no pen knifes, no Disney stuff, no clothing apparel

Possible solution:

I used to bid on Mike's auctions in the BST. I won a number of 1956 Topps lots from him.

Each of his weekly auction listings contained multiple lots. He didn't make a separate listing for 1952, another for 1953, a third listing for 1954, and so on.

If people consolidated all of their items into a single listing, the page would open up a bit. Perhaps others would feel comfortable enough to use the auction section.

I would probably use it one or two times until my items sold for peanuts....then I would be like, why bother.....but I really want it to succeed.....I may list something there just to see what happens....and when it does poorly, I will just fade back into the woodworks.
