<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1217525, member: 25270"]I agree with the people who said that BIN is usually overpriced, and if you use eBay a lot, you come to expect that. I still buy coins with it, but only when the price is low enough. I do think that buyers often succumb to the urge to go just a little higher to win that item. I know most of what I lose out on, I'm only outbid by 25 cents, but of course I have to remember that the winner's max was probably still higher. </p><p><br /></p><p>EBay is weird though. I've listed coins three or four times and gotten no bids at all, then the next time I get three bids. It's the same coin, same listing, so what is different now? Sometimes it just needs to be seen by the right people. Combined shipping is a good way to get people to bid higher and on things they otherwise wouldn't too. Something you wouldn't normally bid on, you do because it's going to be a great deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
