Ebay sales advice
I am going to sell some of my 2012 ginter stuff. All of the relics, I am just going to use a 3 day auction. I was just wondering on the 2 higher end things if I should auction them and let them go, or use a BIN/BO. Also if I go that route what should I list as the BIN price?
1) Koufax Mini Framed Auto Redemption
2) Pujols N43 Relic #/25
Any advice would be appreciated.

RE: Ebay sales advice
The extra they charge for BIN stuff is so tiny, it really doesn't even matter. I still think you should do an auction though. I always start my auctions at $0.99 for the most popular stuff. That way I get as many watchers as I can early and those are usually the people (like me) that set up a snipe bid. Seems the more action I get early on in an auction, the higher it ends up.
Also, I think people that use BIN/BO sometimes screw themselves. If the BIN is too high, even of the seller would take far less, I won't offer. If there are people with a BIN that is much higher than what I would expect it to sell for, I won't even waste my time.

I would auction at .99 too, especially with newer stuff, you'll get tons of action from player collectors and hardcore set collectors

I honestly won't bid on any of the newer mini's other than a cheap snipe on the NNO's. The prices in the beginning are way higher than in a month from now.
