Many buyers do not have the time or money to get access to current selling trends....so sometimes having a BIN price can get you more for a book that may be selling for less...that's just one way....DSat, 10 May 2008 14:40:30 GMTBMXmanhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxI used the Buy It Now option on a Captain America #14 and it sold within 3 days.Fri, 09 May 2008 12:14:11 GMTPEPhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxAs a buyer, BIN definitely has it's place in my life. I can go looking for a particular issue for a while and either not find a grade I want or a price I can deal with on auction. At that point, I sometimes go for one of the BIN options that hang around forever. If I'm willing to pay something close to guide for a particular book, it's not a bad move at all, IMHO.<br><br>Based solely on my own quite limited empirical evidence, I might go so far as to say that the BIN books I've gotten have been closer to the mark grading-wise.Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:24:40 GMTSpeedy-Dhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxI use BIN for the things I sell on ebay except for the comics, I sell them at auction. But sometimes you might make less by using the auction. It could be a slow week and not that many bidders bid on your comic.<P>For the items I sell with BIN, they sell pretty fast and most of the time dont last the 7 days.Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:33:30 GMTPEPhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxIt would be foolish of you to add the BIN option when you can get more from auction style. Some people think they can talk their way into a deal.Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:25:28 GMTthespazzhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxI know but, why would I as the seller want to avoid a bidding war, bidding war means more money. I just thought it was a bit insulting/manipulative to ask me to add a buy it now option.Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:06:10 GMTgeneralgroghttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxPeople want the BIN option to get them out of a potential bidding war.Tue, 29 Apr 2008 06:51:23 GMTthespazzhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxi use buy it now and they can make offers.Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:08:32 GMTbatfanhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxHad that happen plenty of times in the past...I got frustrated with people asking for a BIN especially if people had already bidded on the item...I don't really think this is anything new.<br><br>I sometimes tell people if they REALLY want my item they'll need to pay big bucks...I just say it because I'm bored.Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:06:34 GMTSet 0nehttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic9020-26-1.aspxI have a few auctions up for some extra crap I'm trying to get rid of. I have had 3 people send me emails asking for a buy it now option. </P><P>Anyone know why this is happening? I haven't tried to sell on ebay in years.</P><P>ggMon, 28 Apr 2008 18:54:39 GMTgeneralgrog
