Could be. Usually when mine are that way is because priced a little to high. Good item to relist with a 20% discount and a BIN at original price.

Either that, or you have a keyword that causes some people to find it, and then realize it's not what they are really looking for...

I had a bracelet on that had a large number of hits but also the price was high. 2 minutes before it went off it was $125.00, when the auction ended it was $156.00. It happened that one person sat and waited to snipe, did but was out bid by someone else. That was fun to watch. Both people had pieces to match it.

Now seriously--100 hits and several e-mails from buyers would mean to me that there will be more bids. Usually! But I agree--if it doesn't sell, start it lower when you relist and perhaps use a BIN.
I've never failed to make a sale when I've had that high a number of hits.

Let the auction run its course. I have found that many bidders wait till the last minute or two to bid also. And now that there is software out there that allows a bidders to select a price they are willing to pay for an auction and bid that amount within seconds of the auctions closing time. If it doesn't sell, you can always relist it. You may also find increasing the price to a more realistic price may get you more bids as well. Often I see auctions listed way below what they should be and say, what is wrong with this item that is listed so cheap.
Good luck either way,
