To my unending joy this has now been bid to OVER the BIN that I set at the beginning of the auction 8O (So how on earth does that happen then?)


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Once someone bids the BIN is gone unless you have a reserve set up.

Think is, in the listing I actually put that  I was 'chancing my arm' at £55 (and if someone had have come up with £40 or £50 here I wouldn't have even bothered listing it - looks like some of that good D&D karma is catching up with me)

And I was really tempted by the £55 BIN. Must have left it a good half hour before I threw my bid in on it.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Looks like it was used as the condom.

That's my copy :)

Yes, it's not in great shape but the picture makes it look a little worse than it does in the flesh - still, better that way round than the other.
The headline price is optimistic given it's condition but then optimism seem to be the point of putting a BIN figure on something (and I have opened it to offers.)

Hello everyone, BTW.  I've lurked here for a bit and did think about posting to  advertise this listing but a first post that pushes an auction always seems like bad manners so I resisted the temptation!

Done!

What can I say? I'm an optimistic chap!  
If it doesn't sell then it doesn't sell. I know that eBay account only shows 2 feedback but I've been trading under the same name I'm using here for some years.  A high BIN whilst taking offers has worked quite well for me in the past and, as I'm not desperate to sell that item, it gives me a bit more control over the selling price than a straight auction.
