advice on selling low end 1/1s
I have 8 low end 1/1s that I am going to sell. I was just wondering in general do you think it is better to list with a BIN w/ BO option, or if i should just put them at .99 auctions and hope to get 2 folks who want it and let them go at it ? Any help is appreciated.

I would normally do the auction thing and start at .99 and let er rip. Unless lets say you have put a certain amount of money into them , then a BIN is better.

I havent put much into them. I almost always do .99 auction and just let them go, but I have never sold any 1/1s. thanks for the advice.

I buy a lot of 1/1's on ebay and for former players or lesser known players I can usually get them for $2-$3 a piece. That being said I would buy your lot of cards and save you the ebay fees, if you want to PM me a price.

I usually start auctions at $.99 and let em rip, but in this case I would list with a BIN OBO. BIN OBO is the best way to sell a card that is really rare and has a limited market. With a BIN OBO auction you are going to get what 1 guy is willing to pay for it, which might be, let's say, $30. But with an auction, you will only get a hair more then the 2nd highest bidder is willing to pay. So the guy that was willing to pay $30 might be able to get it for $10 if he's the only interested party.
