should I change Auction to BIN?

Hi all.
I only dabble in ebay (when I have a clear out every so often) I listed an item last night as an auction but had a email from an ebayer asking me would I change it to a BIN and requesting the price. He/She has a feedback score of 20 (100%) and has only ever bought.
I've never done this before and not sure if I should or let the auction run its course?
My listing has 3 watchers, the page has been viewed 20 times. It has no bids yet. I've listed it about 10 quid cheaper than I really would like for it.
The problem I've got is that there are very few others of the exact same model on ebay, so have had to guess at value. New models sell for a lot more (50 to 80). Mine are about 10 years old but are in as new condition as I've rarely used them (didn't much like the hobby:rotfl:)
Any advice which could help me decide what to do? Help...I really don't know what is best:(

I think I'd let the auction run, or offer a high BIN that you're happy with.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0
