Default Why Won't More Vintage Card Auctions Include A BIN?

Posted By: Rob

If the Bin is set a bit high, it will motivate a buyer to place a bid to remove the BIN, so a BIN is useful even where it's not being used.

There is no reason not to set a BIN at twice the opening bid (more or less) on common vintage cards like T205, T206 & T207's when you can use one of several websites that give a past history of card sales, there's a less than 5% probability you'll have 2 bidders get into a war and/or high snipes driving price above what research shows, but there's perhaps a 25% probability your card will sell for less than an optimal or high price. A quarter a BiN is worth it. AS for Ebay nickel and diming, one can use auctiva.com free for picture hosting and scheduling, circumventing Greedbay's charge for those extras.
