Doubletake
I usually take a double-take when I see a BIN at a reasonable price and have to read the description x5 to confirm what my eyes have seen...I think timing has a lot to do with BIN prices. Sellers that do not need a sale that week to pay the bills can afford to float a high-priced BIN item and wait patiently for the right buyer. I would suspect this approach is even more common with pre-war/scarce cards.
Also, I have overpaid a little bit on pre-war cards from a trusted eBay seller because it was in the range of the market price and b/c I am not as savy on prewar prices. (Plus, I didn't want to wait 7 days) Thus, this seller benefited from a higher BIN from me rather than running it auction-style. However, as stated, I agree are there too many BIN listings well above market price and that gets tiresome. Last edited by mintacular; 01-19-2010 at 10:53 AM.
