My opinion is if a seller isn't willing to list an asking price, then they probably know they want more than they will likely be able to get from most buyers. Holding out for your price isn't really a good plan for trading card sites like this. I would assume a quick sale method works best. Blow out stuff cheap and fast to dime box type buyers. Otherwise, list it on ebay and see what "market" is for it. The hot stuff always sells and the boring junk sits.
I think one benefit of these sites is that there are compartmentalized forums for special interests, but on the flip side it keeps general interest traffic down. There are forums for each sport, talk, transactions, etc. If you had one giant forum, topics would get buried too fast Then if the forum is too specific, nobody checks in.
I just don't have the passion for trading much anymore. I don't buy any new products and that still seems to be the favorite online, so I have nothing to trade most people or what I do have has limited interest. Trying to find older stuff is tough, because it's already been dealt or it dried up. I spend nearly all of my time on sites like this is the card talk forums, because I just want to talk about or read about the hobby. As long as the chatter is interesting, I stick around. I do most of my buying on ebay or COMC occasionally.
