Why would an item have almost 5,000 views but no sale and not even 1 best offer?

Run a check and see if any others like sold and for what price along with any listings for it.  Sounds like a price issue assuming it's condition is ok.    Could the counter just be wrong?  Those counters are not always correct.

OK, over a year listed would be anywhere from 2 to 3 graduations. People looking for graduation gifts probably clicked out of curiosity and decided it is much a baby toy for a graduation gift. Anyone who has dust collectors sitting on Ebay probably has thousands of views. Maybe skip best offer and just lower the price in which you would typically sell it for as many folks do not want the hassle of making offers.

Price of item seems high to me. But assuming that is within norms...

Try adding some more photos and maybe stick it in a different category that makes sense for it. Too lazy to look, but maybe celebration, graduation, or toy. Something like that.

This just happened in my store:

An item that I had had on auction for several weeks with few views I relisted as fixed price yesterday. By last night it had more than 1,000 views with one watcher.  This morning it's at 2,000 views with one watcher. So I thought huh... I might as well try putting the thing on sale. But in creating the sale event for that one item, the selection screen shows a different view count: 5 views with one watcher.

Must be a glitch. Trust your instincts.
