Quick story - I've got a few cards that I can sell but I don't really have to (or need to) sell them. One card in particular (a few years ago) was a highly sought after card but in really bad shape. I put a $1200 BIN on it. Nobody bought it. A couple of months later I put a $1400 BIN on it and received offers of $1200 for it (this was without the "give me your offer option"). The card didn't sell. A few months later I put a $1600 BIN on it, and you guessed it... I received a couple of offers for $1400. I didn't sell it. A few months later I put a BIN of $1800 on it. You guessed it again, I received a couple of offers for $1600. I didn't sell it. A couple of months later I received an email asking if the card was still available and if the card was available they'd pay the full amount of what I was asking for it in my last BIN. I figure if I wanted to sell it for less then I'd put a lower price on it. I guess if you say to put up your best offer then dropping the price 15-20% wouldn't be a bad offer. I've seen people drop their asking price 40% on some items on the BIN with a "make your best offer" option. There are some people that would get buyers remorse if they got the card for 40% off the BIN price (on the "make your best offer" option). You should pay what you feel comfortable paying for the card and be happy with the purchase (if it's in the condition noted in the item description).
