serious question re ebay 1/1 price

Rainman

as part of my authentix box break, i pulled this card-


#/25


only the 1 i have is #10/25- his jersey #- time for the infamous 1/1 plug on ebay.

q. what would you guys start bids at?
q. what would you put as a BIN?

serious replies only please- i.e., don't say $.01 or 1.

I would start bids at $5 and probably put a BIN at $40

thanks. i took your advice and will see how it does. unfortunately ebay's picture server's giving me problems, so the pic won't load. hopefully i can fix that.

I guess too late now, but I would have started it at $24.95, and a BIN at $40. This would open the card up to serious bidders only, also increases the chance of the BIN being hit early, and if you run it for 7 days, and after 5 days no action, you can drop the minimum bid. It only costs 25 cents more to start at $24.95 over $5.00, and gives a better chance of getting what you want out of the card. I just sold a Dan Marino Gridiron Kings for BIN $35. They have sold anywhere from $6.50 to $42, and the last one before mine for $14, I did the 24.95, BIN $35, and had the card sold in less then an hour.

thanks x...i think i'm going to change the opening price...i've found lately a lot of people "waste" my BINs early and i have to sit and watch the card 'inch' its way up...however, usually it's worked to my favor and the buyers have EXCEEDED my BIN.

i still can't get the pic to load for some reason.
