Auction with BIN, starting price 10% below. Most have sold BIN, which have been listed several times at the same price. A few I have bumped up the starting bid to the previous BIN and I got more than I was asking a few days before!

Starting tomorrow I get 2500 free listings per month...I'm going to give your idea a try.

Ebay just announced a new rule, not sure when it will be implemented. BIN must be at least 30% higher then an auctions starting bid, when used in tandem with each other.

Must have gone into effect today. I guess you have to choose between bumping up the BIN, or lowering your min bid. I liked the 10% because a buyer knows a bid or two and they may pay more, so they pull the trigger.
