I like the Buy It Now aspect... especially when people post computer parts up for way cheaper than they would go for if it was an auction.
I think Buy It Now took off when eBay started offering it for free.
Back in the day, putting a sale as Buy It Now was an additional charge.
Not free. They still charge the 10% when you sell.
Yeah, they waive the listing fee for a limited number and that's why the place is polluted with vastly over priced items.
To me a "But It Now" is nothing more than an old school classifies ad and it shouldn't cost more than $1 or 2 no matter what you are selling.

You can teach a man to fish and feed him for life, but if he can't handle sushi you must also teach him to cook.
I don't think many people are motivated to keep auctioning to a niche market for $1 per item.

I wasn't talking about auctions nor the cost of the items for sale.
I was talking about the cost of a classified ad which is all a BIN listing is.
Craigs List does it for free.

That may be but my post was a response to the general direction of the thread lately.

I follow you now.
Outside of the umpteen thousands of sellers from China you are probably right.
