Another sucker about to be born, courtesy of our favorite pedal flipper -- "Uh, should I buy it now at $325, or should I open the bidding at that same price and wait for someone to outbid me?" :
edit: unusual signs of desperation here; asking price has been dropped twice in the past 24 hours... $325 --> $305 --> $295
What I don't understand is having a BIN price identical to the starting bid.
What on Earth would possess a potential buyer to open the bidding at $325.00, and then sit there and give someone the opportunity to outbid them, when they can just BIN for the identical amount and be done with it? I mean, do they want to buy it, or don't they?
i agree. that doesnt make any sense. whats worse is browsing through ebay and seeing 2 pages straight of auctions from a music store with starting prices at OR HIGHER than list value. NOBODY will buy a PS-5 for $270 plus $20 for shipping. when theres 7 other BINs for the same product 50 bucks cheaper. you would think they would check this, compare their prices and save the 2 hours it took them to list.
