I'm curious about the Mudcat auctions. I've noticed that almost nothing goes up here. Is that because there's no interest?, no lookers? or folks go to EBay?

I've put some books and recordings up on EBay but, particularly with music books, I wonder if bidders there buy them to use or to resell. I always want to see songbooks used to learn songs/tunes from and I think that's more likely to happen here than elsewhere. On the other hand, I'd like to get fair value for them. Is that possible here? I also would think there would be an active auction market for in instruments but I haven't seen any here.

I think it would be nice if the website could just note under the Auctions link whether anything is being auctioned or not. Just a number would be OK.
