ebay observation

Haven't been on ebay for awhile.
Checked my favorite brand tractor name under collectibles/advertising.
1807 hits.
114 were auctions.
1725 were Buy it Now.
What the heck are they doing with this site?
Nobody wants to auction anything anymore.
Isn't Buy it Now the same as a classified ad.
I thought it was bad enough to let sellers set a reserve price which effectively made it nothing more than a classified ad in the first place.
Just a note on the math.
From the 1807 hits, 114 auctions and 1725 Buy it Nows = 1839 total meaning 32 items are listed in both categories.
I wonder how many farmers would stick around at a farm sale if they found out 100 items would be auctioned and the remaining 1700 items all had price tags hanging on them.
