Last time I looked, admittedly some time ago: Only if it sells. That's the catch. they can display their collection all they want, and it doesn't cost them a cent til it sells.

I think this thread is proof it's all over the world. It's longevity says it's not getting better either.
This is one way the Internet is a "bad" thing.
People do a search on the item they have. They see a wide range of prices. Well, mine is at least as good as the best one... (not bothering to figure out how theirs looks compared to others) invariably, they'll come across a "Rare, Industrial Strength, Magic Bean growing, sews through tin cans and Anvils type listing and figure theirs is at least $50 better than that.
Those are the ones who look it up.
The ones who don't.... I got nuthin.
