I agree, things are selling tough these days.
Folks are practically looking for sellers to give stuff away, so there simply must be a point when you say "This far, and no further" and just let it lapse.
I have 3 items up as I speak that I am doing just that with.
Back into the collection, without any fanfare, perhaps try again with success another day, or make a package deal, that amounts to about the same, with unsold items.

Don't really think the tough selling climate is forum specific here, though of course the drop in posting signifies a drop in forum population, which translates to fewer people viewing sales, and few potential buyers.
As they say, "things are tough all over", and I don't think the odds are greatly increased at more populated forums.
