You know...it's not really a mess at all.

It's just that you had so many of them in a short time. You see 1-3 auctions like that all the time. Having numerous items available cause no "buying panic".

The prices were low, because of the number available, as no one really wanted them all, but put "token" bids on the ones they didn't really care about. The casual bidders also didn't keep on bidding to find what the reserve is, and alot of people don't like bidding on reserved item anyway.
