    It can't be done. A BIN will always disappear once a bid is placed unless you also have a reserve and the bid doesn't reach that. However, an auction with a BIN and a reserve is going to start costing money.

    The BIN will laways disappear on a normal listing. You can set a low start with a higher reserve and a BIN and the BIN will not disappear until the reserve has been reached.

    Although on another thread I have been arguing against using Best Offer this might be an example of when it might pay to use it. Start with a BIN only and Best Offer. You can then see how you go.
