My theory... bad timing. Lousy economy aside, it's right before Christmas, and people are saving whatever money they can for gifts for their families, and the inherent credit card bills that will follow the holidays.
I've built up another pile of bicycle and motorcycle and computer stuff that I would like to put up on eBay, but I'm thinking I should wait until maybe next March or April before trying to sell it.
