299.99 BIN?

I'm so tempted to kill the BIN... but then the joke is lost. :-)

How do you kill the BIN without going over or equalling the BIN price?

[gamerz]

$5 will kill the BIN, BIN goes away when a bid is placed, unless there is a reserve, then BIN goes away when the reserve is met.

[Atarian7]

thank you I thought I had seen auctions with bids that still had the BIN but no reserve price.

I think that Bidiots works that way.

 

This seller probably meant 29.99 and added an extra 9 by mistake.

[chrishicks]

rather than starting another thread I'm just going to ask this here.

 

why do some sellers charge way to much for insurance? I was looking at a BIN game and the cost of the game is 11.00. shipping is 5.50 and insurance is 3.95.

[Mindfield]

Just another way to pad profits. As far as I know it's always about a buck and change for every $100 worth of insurance. If the seller's selling something worth about $300 then I could see a $3+ insurance charge.
