Title: Never Hurts to try
Post by: hhwolfman on December 02, 2009, 10:47:17 AM
I saw this a minute after it was up. I have always wanted one of these but never have owned one. It was at $9.99 , regular auction. I thought to myself. I will email them and ask if they would take a BUY IT Now. I usually get around 80 percent of the auctions I do this on. Got to doing something else, and forgot about it. Someone else beat me to the punch, and had them add a BIN, at what I was thinking on offering.  Oh Well. Someone got a great deal. Congrates. HHW

Even with the broken sail, that is a steal.  I didn't see that listing.  I haven't been searching for MPC stuff lately.  I wonder what it would have hit if the auction had run its course.

That's a steal alright! I'd kill for that hulk. I've never had any luck asking sellers to offer a BIN - one seller reported me to ebay for asking to offer a BIN on two boxed Euro Lincoln monsters :(
This proves that it's worth a try.

Wow. Great price on that. Cool to see the pics.

I've found it is always worth asking for a buy it now as part of a communication that you will be bidding on something. Many sellers (and even some buyers) are confused by how ebay works and often think of it like a live, open ended auction where interest can be gauged immediately, rather than literally at the last second.
