As a point of interest I recently listed an unusual item which I didn't know the demand for nor the appropriate selling price. As such I tried an auction and did not get the results I wanted (didn't meet reserve which was quite fair). So I chose to relist as a regular ad and got a fair price for it. Not sure why but that's what worked this time. One thing I did find is you get a free relist if the item doesn't sell, but you must relist as the same type, i.e., if you start as an auction you must relist as an auction. Not so good if the auction route doesn't work. Strangely, I did not find this spelled out in the selling guidelines. The Audiogon support crew straightened me out though, and were generous (thanks!).
