I have begun using fixed prices on most of my listings there, but still do not see a clear pattern as to whether it is more effective or not. @Jamie,

Since that is a default setting and domain owners seem to never want to price a domain with a BIN. @Michael,

Hasn't Sedo been telling sellers for a long time that setting a fixed price would increase chances of selling considerably?

Five sales - $100, $200, $300, $400, $4000. The average sale is $1000 but 80% were well under that figure. The median sale would be $300. Also note the 15% Q4 year over year increase in the number of domains sold (10070 vs 8754). It would be interesting to see how that breaks out. I suspect there has been modest growth in .Net sales and more significant growth in CCTLD sales.
