I noticed this a lot last year, particularly the second half of the year. I think the trend is just continuing.
Some of it is cyclical, people get rid of older stuff to buy newer stuff (particularly movie, animated, etc.). Also some people moving on, having kids, houses, etc. and getting rid of collections.
Part of me thinks that as long as new stuff comes out in stores, people remain excited about transformers and are too busy buying to sell. But when nothing "exciting" is coming out, people have more time to sort through their collection, make sales lists, and just generally they feel less "attached" to their transformers and start wondering "why do I have this?".
