>>..hoping that it would resurface as a BIN for $999, then I would
pull the trigger. Guess what, the card was relisted with a BIN of $1199.
A lot of sellers on EBay are factoring in the rebate to their sell prices
especially on things like gift cards. For some reason they feel they are
entitled to part of the rebate you might get. There are $500 gift cards for
overpriced places like Saks with BINs of $600 being offered. I think you
need your head examined if you give a seller any part of your rebate.
Sounds like that's what may have happened with your Green Cobb.
MAYBE make an allowance for the sellers fees but that would be it
and that is being generous. A seller does not deserve a cut of your
rebate. Let's see - I do all the work, have to wait on the rebate and
I get to give a seller a healthy cut of it up front? Sounds great.
Maybe the seller will include a jar of vaseline with the purchase.
