How about on all auctions just collect a %age of the initial listing
price for items that do not sell. This would solve the free advertising
problem, as well as over-pricing items at $999,999 (probably these are
the same problem). On the other hand, folks will be less likely to list
items they are not certain will sell.

On the gripping hand, more auctions will have listing prices at $.01
letting the market set the price.
