Q for the Ebay experts

Why would a buyer bid to buy a 20th Anniversary Set all pcgs 69's at a price higher than existing buy-it-now pricing? Is this a seller confidence issue? Is it the thrill of the auction? I watched one close yesterday at 466+shipping?

    It's possible they didn't see the listing with the BIN. Some buyers don't search, but simply use a favorite sellers list.

    I believe this was an auction & not a BIN... LINK

    OPA,

    I'm pretty sure he's using that as a comparison to another one listed as a BIN.

    PS: That's a popular seller, so a lot of bidders will have them bookmarked. More eyeballs = higher realized prices.

    Maybe you missed my question? I understood all the replies, but yours makes no sense.

    I think Russ is right. A lot of people do not put BIN's on their watch list, and very few people look at the BIN store offerings. More than once, I have sold an item on ebay auctions, for more than the identicle item was also available in my ebay store.
