I like best offer as well. What I don't like is when people put an automatic limit on offers. If you don't want to consider an offer at that price then let that be your minimum BIN. When that happens to me I immediately stop bidding.

But listing the minimum you will take could reduce the amount of your sale. I have used the best offer feature a few times, and I have had some absolutely ridiculous offers when using BIN with best offer. I had a Joecon Destro listed at $125 or best offer and someone offers $25. Those kinds of offers do not deserve a reply and if some person has the nerve to even try it, they are not worth my time. So setting a minimum eliminates having to deal with people like this.

I think that there are some buyers out there that only focus on auctions, and some buyers that only look at fixed price listings. So I try to list some of each category to try and "cast a wider net". You can prevent your auction item from selling at too low of an amount by simply raising the starting bid. I agree that the reserve price option seems like an outdated concept that is annoying to me personally. If you have a lowest acceptable price in mind, just make that your starting bid.
As a buyer, I've gotten some of my best deals off the Fixed price listings. The only way this works though, is if you search by whats newly listed. I'm convinced there are many serious toy dealers out there who just sit by their computers all day and scoop up any fixed-priced deals the moment they come available. what I don't understand, when it comes to best offer, is when the seller auto-rejects offers that are close and within range of the fixed price. |

I list the majority of my stuff as auctions. Usually the BIN option has a higher insertion fee. If the seller has a store, it is more beneficial for them to list items as BIN, because they get discounts and you can keep the item up until it's sold.
I am impatient and when I list something, I want it to sell. So I list the items lower then what they are selling for currently. I've had items go for more then their current value because of bidding wars. I've also sold figures for $45 and the next week those same ones go for $30. IMO, I think the best part of BIN is that you can have the listing up until it's sold...the most I can list for is 10 days auction style. I get 50 insertion free listings a month no matter how I list them. I think it's part of being a power seller. |
