Finding an amazing good deal just a bit after the item shows up in the "new" category...

and wondering why the seller put such a low BIN price ON that item

As a seller I put a higher amount on my BIN's than I expect so if it DOES go I'm very (happily) surprised. Not everyone does that!!!

Grabbing stuff that eBay would "outlaw" if the "safeharbor" crew had a chance at it!!!

I like it as a seller because it forces the lookers to make a decision - if they really want an item they either have to do the BIN option or bid because if they don't, someone else may come along and BIN the item!!

I used to just look at "ending soon" for sniping opportunities.

Now I look at both ending soon and new for sniping opportunities and BIN opportunities.

I like BIN. Have gotten some great items for a fair price that way.

If I really want it, I will BIN.

If I want it and know that it won't go above BIN, I will drop a bid on it.

BUT I will let it go if it goes higher than the BIN price (somehow I should be getting commission for all the auctions I drop a bid on only to see some twonk, bid up over the BIN price...doh!)

Sometimes I will drop a bid on it to slow down the action so that I can research the item, email, price compare etc. Then I know how hight I am willing to go. I usually am happily outbid and then I can go snipe at the end if it's a good deal, or let it go.

Worse, is seeing BIN auctions that are ended. waste of a mouse click!
