Regarding OP's question, as I said in different thread, I think it really depends on the product. As I mentioned in a previous post, I sell low volume, high dollar items and I make more money from auction listings than I have from BINs.
That being said, I think it's important to note that with auction listings comes the potential to make bigger sales and increase profit margins. Over a period of time, even a few dollars extra per sale (but I'm talking about hundreds of dollars extra) really adds up and is great for your bottom line.
I haven't implemented it yet, but I'm gonna use several stealth account to list BINs of my items at high prices to create "market value" for my items and thereby creating value, and in the Buyer's minds, a greater "potential for savings" in my auction listings.
