    Lots of people sell hones now the market is very saturated and cheaper prices win. Also folks may not have funds to spend on hones as much as they used to.
    As to your question, we do not keep lists.

    Welcome to SRP. The title to you thread doesn't match the question in your post. Perhaps it would be better if it were Why Are Buyers Avoiding My Hone Listings ? As Stefan (mainaman) noted, the market ebbs and flows. I can remember when any decent vintage coticule brought $200 or more. I've seen Eschers go for $900-$1,000 and I've seen the same stones go for $250-$300 ......... or not at all. Wish I had a crystal ball, then I'd know when to hold them, or when to let them go.

    If you like I can edit the title to your thread. As it is it may invite posts that will be vendor bashing and may cause the thread to be shut down.
