Buying from a BIN or waiting it out?

I picked up a couple of nice cards at reasonable BIN's - and collected the 5X eBay bucks. It's win-win!

Yes, me too, and Ebay is so smart, everytime I tell myself I am gonna lay off buying for awhile they seem to know it and tempt me with a 4X or 5X Ebay bucks deal!!!! So nice to use BIN on these deals.

As a buyer/seller....I try to use BIN's, but EBay makes you set the BIN 30% more that the auction start price, basically those that use the start bid to make it lower and hopefully get enough bids to eventually get where they wanted in the first place, or just do away with the auction/starting bid, and just use BIN.
I did read about higher USPS shipping fees, so the increase in S/H is another issue, do folks just figure that into their price and offer free s/h.
Makes me wonder, just use PWCC or Probstein.

In my experience BINs, as a rule, are significantly out of line with VCP auction results. In fact, one of the most disappointing developments in the hobby in recent years, in my view, is the movement by the vast majority of sellers to BIN listings as opposed to auctions. And, even those few auctions frequently have opening bids that exceed VCP prices.
