<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1355845, member: 23626"]The problem with using completed auction listings as price guides is that it's too much like reading a racing form. Sure, you get what happened in the past. But that may not be what will happen today or tomorrow. If 2 bidders get in a war over an item, they can drive the price through the roof. The next day, maybe only one person wants it and gets it for next to nothing. I know that's a bit simplistic, but the point is there. Using eBay BIN doesn't tell you much unless you know for a fact that the item was actually sold at that price. I mean I see BIN in auction listing a lot where there aren't any bids. I don't trust anyone to state the value on something they don't actually have. A lot of "experts" are good at that, and it's always lower than what the items actually sell for.
