Why are auctions so sparse?

Why are there so few auctions for equipment on basil? Mainly weapons is what I look for the most and what I find the least of. Or is this just a Bera thing?

It's sad really, if the auction system had just remained unchanged it would probably still be busy.

Mr. B messed with the trading system, was stubborn enough to not change it back much to most users distaste so most people gave up on the trading portion of Basil. Only then was it finally changed back, but it seems as though its too late.....

The system was changed causing people to just not use it at all. After it got turned back, a lot of users didn't come back with it. That's my guess. Aside from that, I find it incredibly annoying that it only lets me go up to 4B.
