Proof that bargain ebay BIN's still exist! Show yours.

So a few weeks ago I was lazily browsing ebay and came across a beauty 1928 Star Player Candy card of HOFer George "Highpockets" Kelly with a Buy It Now of $80 on it!! I rubbed my eyes a few times, thinking maybe the few beers I had somehow removed a digit from the price. When I saw that wasn't the case, I nearly broke my mouse button by hitting the BIN so hard. I used to get some nice BIN's back in the day on ebay, but ziltch in several years.

Well, now that I've returned to Canada for my summer vacation and have had a chance to pick up my mail and scan some stuff, I'm ready to unveil my Star Player Candy BIN bargain.

Feel free to share your Buy it Now bargain stories from days past!

Ben that's an absolute beauty. Mine would probably be my Sgc40 T206 Hal Chase blue portrait with an Old Mill back.
Common card, but going off eye appeal alone would have had to spend big bucks for the same look in a NM holder.
This one ran me a whole $130 bucks and looks just as nice.

Yeah Tony, that one looks real tight for a 3.

sorry guys, i would so love to participate and post an awesome bin here but tbh i don't even remember when the last one was...prolly 3-4 years ago.

p.s. although i don't follow ebay as closely as before because of the big clusterfranklin it has become.

Same here as Quan. I can't remember the last BIN.

I'm with Quan and Elliot on this subject.

I've been having a little luck on the BIN's lately....

Last night Bill Henderson (king of commons!) listed a bunch of T210 Old Mills with very cheap BIN's. I managed to pick up a series 8 for just under 20 bucks! Anyone else on the board get a piece of that offering?

Me too. eBay once giveth, now taketh when it comes to hobby vitality.

Come on, Quan. You don't remember this one that none of us had the balls to pull the trigger on that one fateful night?

Do tell for those of us who weren't around!

Neither one of these will break the bank but I picked both up within the last 8 months. The Grove was raw with a BIN of $5 and the T222 was already graded with a BIN of $10 and free shipping.

$5 for a Diamond Star Grove? Robbery!

No kidding. My Grove is about in the same shape and I think I paid about $50 for it a few years ago.

You know I really couldn't believe when I found it one night. I hit the BIN, paid immediately and half way expected an e-mail from the seller telling me that the listing was in error and he wanted to void the transaction and to please not leave neg. feedback. The e-m never came but the card did.
