You were spot-on with the 85-210, which only got one bid; just a bit low with the macro, and too high with the Vivitar.
With lower starting prices you might have done as well or better with the macro, sold the Vivitar, and who knows what with the 85-210. You might still have had only one bid, and sold it for $0.99! So your technique was probably right with the 85-210, probably wrong with the Vivitar, and maybe OK with the macro. The main thing is that you earned some money.
