Best way to combine 3 items for BIN

melliott1963

Need some quick advice.

I've got 3 seperate items for sale and have been asked to do a BIN for all 3 of them.

Should the price I'm offered be acceptable, what would be the best way to do this? Should I add a BIN to all 3 items and hope my buyer gets them first, of should I end them all and do a new private listing? Is the cost of adding 3 BINs less than setting up a new (very basic with no pics etc.) BIN listing?

Or should I just take a chance and let everything run?

Thanks.

One BIN will cost you 40p to list, listing them separately will cost you £1.20.

However depending on the category you are listing in you may find the amount you can charge for P+P is restricted to less than what you need to post all 3 together, if you see what I mean.

As for letting the auction run, how many watchers do the items have? Is the price you've been offered good enough?

I've got 3 watchers on one item and 7 on the other two. They are childrens toys which, I don't think have any limits on postage.

At the moment, there are no completed items the same, so it's really hard to know whether or not the offer's a good one or not. The auction's due to end on Sunday.

I've looked at the potential purchaser's feedback, and can't see anything that would ring any alarm bells.

OK, don't worry about this. Have decided to let the auction run its course.

Of course, now that I've made this decision, we all know that the items won't reach the price I was offered for the three of them!

Thought I'd update this further.

All 3 items sold to different buyers for nearly twice what I was offered, so I'm very happy.

However, 2 buyers have paid straight away. The other, despite bidding near the end, hasn't. And guess what? It's the person who made me the offer for all 3 items. Now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they may have used a sniping program, but I just hope they don't try to mess me around for not accepting their offer!
