I really love it when I come across a situation like this.
There was a card (a patch #/10) on eBay for a while at $139 BIN/BO.
I contacted the seller and we had agreed on a price (much lower than the BIN) so I'm all ready to send the money and in the meantime someone hits the BIN.
Ok fair enough.
Now I tracked down the buyer of the card and he says he has bought it to flip and make a profit. He says for $200 its mine.
At this point im thinking its a nice card, but its way too expensive and its time to move on.
The funny part is that 4 more versions of this card have surfaced since.
Card 1 ended at $70
Card 2 ended at $64
Card 3 ended at $60
and
Card 4 ended at $50
Now the guy who bought it at $139 must be kicking himself. He wants to sell it but based on the market value he is probably going to take a hit of about 50% on the card.
Not the wisest decision I think he has ever made!
Anyone else done this, hit a BIN and then lost out big time in selling a card later on?
