Default Best Grab from Ebay BIN

Normally, it is slim pickings for me when mindlessly trolling Ebay pre-war BINs but on the theory that "even a blind squirrel sometimes finds an acorn" would love to hear about anyone's success finding just the right card using this medium.
I have one story: Sometime ago, I grabbed a E92 Wagner batting with a Nadja back PSA 3, which had been just listed. A quick check on pop reports showed it was the only graded example. It wasn't cheap but sometimes you have to just pony up to the bar, so I pulled the trigger. It was a beautiful card, but thinking I could reap a fast profit consigned it where it did poorly. Barely recouped my investment. We deal in a fickle marketplace.

It's possible that many people look at past sales, which they base their decision on how much money to spend. I was looking at buying a rare and cool photo on eBay and did some quick research on it to find out it was bought a month ago in an auction for 1200. The seller wants close to 10k now. I'm sure he is flexible on the price, but it's hard to pay that kind of markup in that short time frame.

Just last night a seller that I have bought from a couple times listed a card that I had been looking for. It was a BIN OBO listing. I bought it for a good deal.

Not baseball, but snagged a Tom Brady Bowman RC PSA9 for a $100 BIN...I think I grabbed it within seconds of them listing it.

back quite a while, someone posted a game used Goose Gossage bat for 99 bucks. It was paypal only, and I didn't have it, so while I was signing up as fast as I could, someone bought it.
