I don't get it. I just listed Fantastic Four 94 for $200, which, given the current market value at an 8.5, seems to be reasonable. I am currently the only person on the site who has it listed, and according to the site, there are now 61 people who have it on their "want" list. I have not had one inquiry. Sometimes the recommended price from the site seems to be what items are going for, but, a lot of times it is less. If there is a pattern, I cannot see what it is.
I currently have about 200 or 250 comics for sale, and have about 2300 more to list, but I'm not going to list one more on the site until someone can advise me what I am doing wrong.

two things, from someone who's been here a long time, although I haven't tried contacting want list people for quite a while...
1) Many or most of those 61 people are probably not active members any more, or at least don't check the site all that often for books they want.
2) YOU have to go after THEM, that's how most want lists work. Try contacting a few through their profile page and see if anyone bites. It may get frustrating not hearing back, so either keep going down the list or not, up to you. You're not doing anything wrong really, but the point of want lists is so buyers don't have to constantly do searches trying to see if anyone has what they want, and many people have LONG want lists, so they just sit and wait for sellers to get in touch.
So good luck, but it'll be up to you to do the contacting.
