0pinions please

There is an item on e-bay with a small following listed with a buy it now / best offer. There is a best offer pending.
I would be willing to purchase at the buy it now as a possible upgrade but I can't see who made the offer and want
be fair. Should I wait long enough to be sure the seller saw it or swoop in fast and pay the asking price?
Or post a link and have someone else steal it? image

    Swoop in fast before someone else beats you to it.

  • Thanks Ben. No real need to bargain as the bin seems fair to me at least. Just
    I would feel bad if I made an offer and someone else purchased it before my
    offer was seen. Alls fair ?

    Seems like another token collector is going after it!

    If you think it's a good price, by all means... BIN that sucker!!

    The other guy's offer is gonna be below the BIN price (otherwise he would've BIN'd it), so go ahead and BIN -- I'm sure the seller would rather sell it for more money.

  • I swooped but before I did one of my 8 year olds came up to me and saw me comparing my slabbed coin with
    the e-bay pics. He started asking questions so I explained about the history of Bingles and took out the rest
    and showed him. He compared them to our coins and noticed the medal turn of some Bingles compared to
    our coin turn. It was a very cool talk and not the first we have had like this all initiated by him.
  • to BIN is fair...best price wins
