Watchers on B.I.N items...

Why do people put low price buy it now items on watch then not buy it? LOL

It's driving me nuts all my B.I.N stuff has watchers, and it's not in auction format, what's all that about?

probably people who own the same item and want to see if it will sell and how much for... I do it all the time

Could also be a potential buyer who is waiting to see if a similar item crops up cheaper, before deciding to buy yours.

I do it to save an item to save searching for it later. Then I can decide if I want to buy it at a later date or compare it to an item elsewhere.

My DD does this all the time (on my account ) She's an Art and Textiles student, so "watches" lots of items so that she can easily find them again, and view a short list. She then buys what she wants but doesn't delete from "watch" the ones she doesn't.

Is there an easier way to keep a track of things you like, and might buy once you've made up your mind

I do it all the time mainly cos I want to remember it for future or when I've got moolah. Have got about 7 things on my watch list mix of buy it now and auctions - (most of them closed!), but gives me a chance to search for them at a later time without the hasstle.

I sometimes do it if there's more than one of the item, to see if someone buys one before me and leaves feedback.

The new ebay has lists, might help a bit?

I watch BINs I'm interested in until I either buy them from that BIN, source it cheaper elsewhere, or go off the idea completely!

I sometimes do this if I've already got a bid (at a lower price) on the same (or similar) item in another auction and I don't want to have to hunt again if I'm not successful with my bid.
