BIN - have you ever listed a BIN and it sold so fast that you felt like you could have sold it for much more?
Listed this for BIN for $150, and it sold within minutes. I know i only paid $110 dlvd for it. The auto is kind of faded, and i have the topps heritage auto, so was comfortable lettting it go.
The mays - always liked the design, but wasnt happy with the auto.

Yup.
BUT, I try to make sure I price the stuff at a number that
will satisfy me.
no one ever went broken making a profit.

That is the key to winning the EBAY game.
Pricing the stuff at numbers we "are happy with."
The only times I get disgusted with "low prices" are when
I foolishly get lazy, don't research prices, and price stuff
too low.
Otherwise, as long as I get what I am asking, I am always
pleased with a sale.

LOL - yea, sometimes i feel that way...
I pulled a Mike Bossy letter "S"
I put a BIN of $400 and within minutes it was gone.
I found out later that it was from a vintage jersey, and at auction may have fetched upwards of $750
I still made off like a bandit, I payed 175 for the box and ended up with a few other cards I kept and was happy with.
1) What the guy sells a card for after he buys it from me - As long as I got a price I'm happy with, and I didnt miss some rarity by mistake, I hope he triples his money. That makes him a happy buyer, and he'll be back.
2) What the guy that's trying to sell me a card paid for that card - Whether he paid 1 penny or $1000 has no bearing on whether or not I can buy his card at the price he's asking. All that matters is "can I make a profit on the card at the price he's asking."
