I didn't check to see what you sell, but in the categories in which I search, rarely is anything of interest offered for sale. That is because the rare and expensive items I'd be looking for are simply not offered on ebay by smart buyers any longer - those sellers know that the more valuable something is, the more likely that they will be robbed by a buyer. They choose to sell those items elsewhere.
About the only time something that would be of interest to me gets listed is when seller doesn't know what they have - that is, it's a rare and/or valuable piece, but they are not aware of this. Perhaps it was something found at a garage sale and they list it not knowing what it really is, or part of an family estate that's being cleaned out, or similar. Something they paid little or nothing for and they're just throwing it on ebay with a low starting price in the hopes they'll get a few bucks for it.
Those kind of hidden gems do turn up once in a great, great while, and when they do, the people with the big money provide stiff competition for each other with the common collectors watching from the sidelines. Even if I was lucky enough to land one of these special items, it's only a once-in-a-great-while type of event. The rest of the time, I simply browse but never buy.
So, that's where this buyer is...just looking...looking...looking...looking..........
