BIN's are usually always higher - but on rare occasion, I do find a deal here or there (I've decided to make an attempt to complete the "monster," but in it's pure form - all 6,000+ cards and I've resigned myself 20 years to do it - no joke!).
I prefer to buy at auction and sometimes, I get great deals and sometimes, well, I usually pay market, maybe a tiny bit more, but not much to have any type of remorse.
I've also noticed that when it comes to the commons, those are fairly easy to get; it's the HOF'ers, rarities, difficult backs, where I end up paying quite a bit more, but that's ok as I love to hunt those.
