I've been eye-f*ck*ng a card with a crazy high bin(at least for the condition) for a while now. Probably about double what I'd be willing to pay, and maybe triple what the card could get if run as an auction. Made the seller a reasonable offer via message about a year and a half ago. Dude replied that he had watchers and was certain he'd get what he wants for it. It's still there obviously. I'll give it a little bit longer and message again with the SAME offer...

Following up my own post. I no longer have to watch this card, nor eventually repeat my offer. One in WAY better condition finally popped up with a BIN at 60% of the price the clown wants for the cut one. YES, I'm talking about the '41 DP Slaughter/Mize.
I'm glad, and I wish the guy well in watching it sit on ebay for the rest of eternity at his price...
See, we don't always have to cave. But then again, it's not like I was dealing with an insanely obscure or expensive item either. Good luck to the rest of you guys in your decisions..
