If everyone tried it just once, no one would EVER list with a realtor

Barbara Streisand, at least tone it down some if we're to believe you.

So why then do so many FSBOers fail and or get less money for their homes?

I am a good republican, I'm sure you are, too.

I just hate to give away thousands (and thousands and thousands) for a job that takes very little effort. When a realtor is working on 20 simultaneous closings, the pressure must be immense. We had to worry about just ONE closing, and all of our energy was concentrated on the sale of our own property.

I don't know why some FSBOs fail, we never failed. If we settled for a little less money, the money we saved in commission more than made up for it, and everyone involved was a winner (just not my neighborhood realtor).
