Where are all the cards?

Okay, getting a little depressed.  I have been watching eBay for a few cards I want to add to my collection, The Marauder's Map, some film cards and Ron' Sweater (as well as whatever else I can find that I don't already have).  Thing is, there does not seem to be many listed right now.  With the bigger print run and higher numbers, is there a reason I see less of these on eBay than I saw of the first set?

Maybe it has something to do with Christmas being only five days away?  I stopped selling a few days ago because I don't want to deal with auctions and shipping items instead of celebrating the holidays with family.

I think it's because of Christmas.  I stopped selling on ebay about 2 weeks ago simply because everything was selling so cheap.  All the collectors are buying presents for other people and most of the non-collector people that are buying presents for collectors don't really have any idea what the collector wants or needs for their collection (at least that's the way it goes in my family) so they buy them a sweater instead of hitting ebay.  I think we will see the amount of auctions and prices increase somewhat around mid January.

I definitely hope to see more auctions, although I hope the prices don't go too crazy.
