This was a nice fit for my no-hit pitcher signed photo collection, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend $100 for it. After the seller ran the signed photo through a few 30 day auctions with no bites, I offered him $75 for it which he immediately turned down. A few months later, I tried again, and no-dice once again.
After two consecutive years of running this photo through 24 consecutive 30 day auctions, he finally started an auction at $74.99 with a BIN of $99 about a week ago. 
I finally got it for the exact price I offered him.  |
Wow, that is some seriously-tenacious item-watching. Congrats, and kudos on the self-restraint!
