Again, maybe others are factoring it differently?
.

If an item stays on the museum at a high retail asking price for 10 years, but an auction clears in 7 days, does that impact our perception and math when we look at a moment in time and attempt to compare the number of items up for auction v using BIN?

I suspect there are more auctions than we realize. But our perceptions tend to tilt the other way simply because of the museum factor for BIN items that malinger interminably.
