Question for people who sell clothes/bags etc on eBay

Hi,

I'm selling a nice used Nica bag on eBay which has generated a surprising amount of interest.

After one day I've had 4 questions and it has 15 watchers.

Starting price is £2.99, but one of the questioners is asking me if I'll do a BIN for £25.

Now this was way more than I was expecting, but now my greedy side is getting the better of me, and I want to see what it auctions for.

What should I do? Any advice?

    If its more than you expected and your happy with it i'd go for it.
    Ive had a quick look at the Nica bags on ebay and i think £25 is a good proce.

    I've noticed alot if things can go for more with BIN instead of auction, i done think people like waiting or forget to bid.

    Ive had 10+ watchers on things in the past and not one bid and had no watchers on things and had a bid.
    If you fancy a gamble stick to the auction, if it was me think id take the bin offer:T
