<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 362567, member: 308&quot;]I never end an auction early - ever.&nbsp; Nor will I set a BIN price on request.&nbsp; I let the auction run.&nbsp; I have usually found that the folks making these requests just want to be sure that they aren&#039;t outbid at the last moment.&nbsp; About a year or so ago I posted a particular art glass liquor bottle.&nbsp; The gentleman who contacted me had been looking for this bottle in this color for a very long time.&nbsp; He offered me a much higher BIN than the opening bid I had requested.&nbsp; I told him I wouldn&#039;t do it because I may have other watchers or bidders waiting in the wings and it wouldn&#039;t be fair.&nbsp; As it ended up no one else was interested and he won at the opening bid.&nbsp; The waiting was a little stressful for him but he ended up with what he believed was a bargain.&nbsp; I had a very happy buyer and I got the minimum of what I wanted for the bottle so we were both happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Always set your opening bid for what you are willing to accept.&nbsp; It appears you have done that so I wouldn&#039;t stress over it.&nbsp; There&#039;s always a chance you can get a higher price for any item.&nbsp; Did I set my opening price too low?&nbsp; Am I selling on the wrong format?&nbsp; Should I have posted more pictures?&nbsp; What if I had waited a week or two more to post it?&nbsp; What if I had posted it a week or two earlier?&nbsp; You can drive yourself crazy real quick.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the hazards of pricing based on book values are well known.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
