I have found my auctions have been selling for higher than my BIN recently. So I thought I'd put some of my BIN on auction. The items go for £5 to £10 so thought I'd start them off 99p. Well within a few mins they started to sell - I'd put them all on BIN for 99p! not auctions. Oops a few people have got bargains and will be happy!

Good on you for taking the hit and losing the money, a lot of sellers wouldn't.

I can't do that people want may want them as Christmas pressies. On the karma side the previous auctions, (that I manage to put as auctions! ), went for more than my normal BIN, which is weird coz I also had the BIN running at the same time, but I guess some people just click auctions only thinking they are getting a bargain. Whereas the could have got my bargain BIN mistakes!
Another item that I sent to Canada, seems like months ago, that was presumed lost, my buyer was refunded, - well the buyer now recieved them, and sent me the money and nice message! which was a bonus, they didn't have to say anything, I would have been none the wiser.

LOL. I've been dithering about this tonight. I have an item which I had at a start price of £4.95 (could use it myself, rather than risk giving it away) on BIN for £10.

Previous research had shown this item sold sluggishly and have restrained from listing till Christmastime, however I now have 16 watchers although no bids and the auction finishes tomorrow. A similar (but offering a bit more) item is at £16.75 atm. Was thinking maybe someone may watch the bidding tomorrow and jump in at BIN towards the end of the auction, so tonight I have removed the BIN price and will see how it goes!

Tomorrow will tell if I've made the right decision, but it's not life or death and part of the fun of ebay!! Will let you know!
