It's slow (or really slow) for a lot of sellers right now. Nothing unusual.
People have a lot of opinions about why sales are slow but my personal opinion is that there is just too much stuff out there and too many people trying to sell it. There are 18 Million sellers on eBay trying to sell almost 2 Billion items on any given day. And that's just eBay. Add in all the other online resale venues, online retail stores, B&M stores, FBMP and CL, estate sales and garage sales, etc. and that's a lot of people and places trying to sell stuff. The older people don't collect like they used to and are trying to downsize, their kids don't want it, and everybody has stuff they are trying to get rid of, and to take advantage of that, "everybody" is a dealer now. Competition for buying and for selling is very high.
An acquaintance who does estate sales recently told us that nowadays, a lot of people come into a sale, phone in hand to look up prices, and won't buy anything unless they think they can turn around and make a buck or two off of it. It didn't used to be like that. My DH & I recently had a garage sale which was mostly small antiques/collectibles that weren't suitable for eBay or our booths at an antique mall; most were priced at less than $5.00. We had some items left over, put them in boxes, set them out at the curb and ran a local FB ad for free stuff. We later looked out the window and there are people out there going through the boxes, looking up the stuff on their phones to see if they could resell it. Even though it was free they didn't want to mess with it if it wasn't going to make them a dollar.
