You might try smaller quantities. The other thing to do, offer any
quantity of Grey 1x1 bricks for 3 cents each with any other successefull
auction. I'm not sure how auction places would feel about offers like
that though. The real problem is that the postage for small quantities
of 1x1s isn't worth it, and no one needs hundreds. (grey at least I can
see some use for larger quantities of since they can be used for castle
battlements).

Perhaps lots of 4 or 5 would be better. You might also try a lower
starting price. Looking at the prices of the long 1xX bricks on
Auczilla, it seems like the 1x16s may have gone a little higher due to
auction frenzy.
