coyo5050 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Somebody ended up doing a side deal on this for $125. Original listing cancelled and relisted with BIN eBay Auction -- Item Number: 230624753116 I'd say that was a pretty good deal for the buyer, I suspect this would have gone for north of $200 if the seller let it run it's course. I bought this, and actually for the record, it wasn't a side deal, believe it or not -- or at least I didn't arrange the BIN. Here's what happened: I was the only bidder, and happened to be at my computer when I got a note saying my bid had been canceled. I wrote to the seller asking what was up, and she wrote back saying she'd forgotten to put a BIN on the auction, and a bunch of people had written asking her for one, so she was going to relist it. I refreshed her items list for a couple minutes, and pounced on the BIN as soon as it appeared, especially when I saw that it was roughly the same as my original bid. I think it was only around for ~15 seconds, tops. So I just happened to be in the right place at the right time! Everything went down in less than 10 minutes, and had I been away from my computer for even a half-hour, I'm sure someone else would've been all over this. Really nice lady, BTW -- very easy to work with so far, and quick to reply to my emails. Honestly I was sure I was going to get outbid -- I didn't expect to be upgrading the copy of Turbo you sent me so soon. Sorry sounds fishy, your the only bidder then the BIN ended secs after it started after emailing her. Just being honest. Whatever...glad I've decided not to collect games, cut throat. It sounds like you got a great deal. Edited May 22, 2011 by coyo5050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Sorry sounds fishy, your the only bidder then the BIN ended secs after it started after emailing her. Just being honest. I understand why it sounds fishy, but you have my word that I didn't request the BIN -- my first communication with the seller was after she'd already canceled my bid. I'd be happy to forward the relevant emails via PM. It ended within seconds because I was sitting at my computer hitting "refresh"! EDIT: Whoa, I just saw that you added the "cut throat" line -- that's pretty harsh. I didn't set out to screw anyone over -- if anything it's likely that someone tried to screw me over, actually, by offering a side deal or pressuring for a BIN. Honestly, it was just dumb luck that I happened to be in a position to hit the BIN before anyone else did.

Honestly, it was just dumb luck that I happened to be in a position to hit the BIN before anyone else did. I wouldn't worry about the whining. You bid, you got the BIN. Even if you side dealt (which I believe you that you didn't)anyone else could have done the same thing, and didn't. It was probably a good thing for you that you got it on the BIN, because I was watching that one, and I would not have been outbid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell wouldn't he tell me/us? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150608854873 That was me, but it wasn't a simple transaction. I saw it as soon as it hit, and tried to do the BIN. Since the seller didn't list Canada as a ship to location, I tried to add a random amount ($12) for shipping, and then settle up later, but eBay wouldn't accept it. So I contacted the seller, and asked if he'd ship to Canada, and if so would he modify his auction to say so, allowing me to BIN. He told me if he did it through eBay, he had to add tracking, and that eBay charged $50 for this service?? Is this true?? He said if I paid him directly ($43) he'd send it and there'd be no problems. So I sent him $50, thanking him for taking the extra trouble. Not trying to side deal or anything, just trying to exercise a BIN for an auction on a game I needed. Even at $50, it beats the Italian ones I was watching with a BIN of 77 euros. Not many games left needed to finish now, and only two tough ones, Mountain Madness and Turbo!

He said the exact same thing to me so we were both sending him $43/$50. Not a side deal at all, we just both asked to be allowed to do the BIN at the same time since his auction didn't allow Canadian bidders. It was a very good deal. I'm glad it was you since I know you needed it. As an aside, I do have extra copies of Mountain Madness and Turbo. What else is left?
