If you're only relying on auction sales then the prices going into your system will only be one bid increment higher than what the under bidder was willing to pay in that particular instance. The high bidder may have been willing to pay a lot more but he only had to pay one bid increment over the second guy who showed up. This causes wide fluctuations, not in what the card is worth, but the price that goes into your computer. High or low, it's simply another example of what the card has sold for and has no bearing on what the next card will sell for. A card purchased through a BIN is the exact same thing. If it was a high or low BIN it's just another example of what somebody paid for the card. Nobody forces people to bid or hit the BIN, and when somebody hits a BIN purchase it shouldn't just be dismissed as a dummy who doesn't know any better. If you’re not getting BIN data along with auction data then you’re missing a lot of information that’s certainly relevant in trying to figure what something might be worth to you.
