When a domain doesn't sell, who misread the market? The seller or the buyer?

A domain gets offers. No deal closes.
So who got the market wrong?

After enough deals that almost closed, I'm starting to think this isn't always about price.
Curious how people here see it,especially from real deals.

Value is an average of what buyers are willing to pay. Take ebay.. if an item lists commonly for $50 and the seller wants $150 and bids reach $50-60.. Seller is paying a yearly registration fee (a holding tax?) for unreasonable pricing. If you really want a deal, poll the market and see what its worth. No responses to your valuation request means its probably $0. If you do get offers, try sedo try others if you really think you have a hot one. But if its still not selling, it's on the seller.
