<p>[QUOTE="Get Some, post: 1248528, member: 32099"]Many bidders will not even search BIN listings and for those of us who do, there is a lot of stuff to wade through so we make our searches very specific. Also, searching BIN only and lowest price first will show you the least you could buy it for and generally a bidder wouldn't exceed that price or they would just buy that one. If your item isn't superior to the lowest priced item, it isn't going to sell period. You'll also notice people really don't bid on items with reserves or high starting bids. They are turned off from those listings and you can often win them with the opening bid. Many times I have bid on an item only to have it bid up beyond the seller's original BIN price. </p><p><br /></p><p>So to sum it up: </p><p>1. Make sure your listing has as many keywords in the title as possible. If it is certified the grading company and grade should be listed. If it is silver, gold or even copper, make sure to mention it in your title if you can fit it- whatever you would search when browsing. A description for a 1955 $.01 should include the words wheat, cent, penny and lincoln for example. </p><p>2. Auctions also give your items more exposure. You will get more bidders and watchers when you start low vs. even a fair BIN price. Generally, if you include a best offer option, you should expect to raise your BIN price higher than what you would really take. </p><p>3.Look at the past completed listings and see what they are selling for. Also, look up the items for sale and find out how much and how popular the items are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
