Man...Thought I was seeing double when an auction ended and I relisted it..only to see 9 minutes later that the auction I just listed had ended as well!!!
Guess it does have it's benefits...and it ended only .01 less than the auction that just ended!

Wow! That must be some kind of record! I thought it was great when I had an item sell in about 3 hours! I really like BIN, and am finding with some of my items it is even helping me get higher prices. Of course, if they start charging for it, I don't think I will use it anymore. Anyway, congratulations, that is a kick in the pants!!!

I happened upon some BIN's today that were unbelieveable...DVD's that were $6 and $7. BIN now is a great thing

Great for you libbyparsons. I missed my deal.
I wonder what else I'm missing because I don't browse to buy nearly enough. I think I'll go browse now.

It was one of those deals where you think is this real? I couldn't make my fingers move fast enough, there were others like me bidding, the DVD's were selling before I could hit the BIN...it was crazy.
Best deal I've found on eBay by far.

Buy it now has worked well for me also, as a seller and a buyer....as a seller I find that my items go pretty good with buy it now, and I sometimes offer cheaper shipping for anyone using buy it now option.
As a buyer I LOVE it when I find a good deal with BIN, like the BRAND NEW NIKE SHORTS I got for my son the other day for $4 with BIN. But won't pay to use it either!

I also had a sale that happened between the time I listed and my next email check [and I check email a lot!]. I don't know how fast it was, maybe within an hour.
People must be really checking the new listings search these days. I never did, I always went for "last day" or whatever.
When I am ready to buy, I want to see the BIN option on the auctions. Then I have the option to either bid the minimum to "protect" it for later, or ...buy it now. The whole thing really works for me.
Ebay is cooking right now, it's really great. I wish Bidville would warm up, too!

I search "New Today" several times a day looking for BIN's that are good deals, hence what I found yesterday.

I sold a set of Topps baseball cards using BIN in 2 minutes!! It's the greatest thing since Pamela Lee.

BIN is great! It didn't take ebay long to swipe the idea from Amazon either! Only a couple of years...

Complaint...
"When I am ready to buy, I want to see the BIN option on the auctions. Then I have the option to either bid the minimum to "protect" it for later, or ...buy it now. The whole thing really works for me."
But if someone BIDS on the item, the BIN still comes up in the LIST of searched items!! So if you see the BIN in the list it may NOT be available for BIN. Very misleading to buyers. I have stopped using BIN until EBAY fixes this software glitch.

That's what I love about BIN, it causes more people to browse the new listings. That has allowed me to turnover some items five times in two weeks instead of one item.
