If it was me, I'd put a BIN at about twice the number I'd be happy with to see if someone out there really wanted it bad and had more $ then sense, but I'd take a number at or about half my BIN. The seller may be doing a similar thing. People put really high BIN to get higher offers.

Thought I'd chime in on this discussion, especially as one who buys a lot of 1/1 sets.

As a part time seller, I hate BIN/BO auctions, but it's the only way to get fair prices on pricier items right now. It's difficult deciding on what amount to put on a BIN. If you list a low fair BIN, buyers still come at you ridiculously low. You list higher for a better BO.

It's insulting as a buyer though, to give your money to someone who believes that somehow because you have money to give the seller (which he will take without hesitation) that this same seller believes you lack sense (or by implication the seller has more sense).

None of our cards are really worth anything in the grand scheme of things except to us. If the seller feels that's what his card is worth or a buyer deems it worth it to pay, that's their business.

I skipped buying the 2011 Elite 1/1's this year. The prices are much higher on all the Elite Status auto cards this year, so I'm not surprised by t he 1/1 prices. Usually the best cards in the series go for $300-400. I think the Cam Newton went for $700.

I understand the frustration, too, of wanting the 1/1 and having a crazy price. It's just hard to get excited when we haven't had the off season hype around the rookies like usual.

If you really want it, don't insult the seller and at the same time, don't let him see your desperation to get it. If it doesn't sell, let him know straight up what you are willing to pay. Don't say $100 is the best you can do when you know you'd pay $150 for it. Be fair.

in the last week i have watched a gore 1/1 sell for $91. then was relisted at $100. it didnt sell so they relisted for a $1,000! then recently switched back down to $100. just plain stupid.

The only ones complaining are the ones that want the card. The only value for a 1/1 is what someone is willing to pay. It's the sellers card and I'm sure he will lower it as time goes on especially with the players involved. Best of luck to you all.

I get aggravated when sellers price the cards at 3X current value! But they are also their cards to sale at what they want...

That's tough placing value on a 1/1. There's nothing to compare it to other than the last time it sold.

Also, the very nature of grading and the market, suggests that Gem Mint (9.5) and Prisitne Mint (10) have more value than an ungraded card with a recent lower selling price.

If I buy a 9.5 graded, I expect to pay more, otherwise I'd just buy the ungraded version.

Well of course its the people that want the card. Why would somebody who doesnt want the card even care. But thats also why this is being brought up and why I commented. I'm a 49er fan so I see lots of 1/1's sell and this one strikes me as kinda out there. He can do what he wants with the card, that I agree with. My problem is that it doesn't take a genius to look up completed listings to see what other 1/1's sell for to come up with a price for a 1/1. People always say that theres no way to put a value on a 1/1 which is true, but you can look and see what the current star running back for the same team 1/1's are going for and maybe go from there to get a fair price if the guy really wants to sell it.
