It disturbs me to see people advocating that others place bids that they don't intend to honor, even on a fake card. By bidding under ebay's auspices you are entering into a contract to purchase. If you know that the item is fake and you BIN anyway, you could be found liable for the purchase price if the seller gets really pissy and sues, even if the item is a reprint. If a seller of a large ticket item came to me with a case where the bidder reneged after BINing an item, I would consider taking it.

And no, I am not defending a seller's right to gyp the public. I am merely raising a point that might come back to bite people in the butt if they persist in bidding on things that they have no intention of actually buying.
