Who cares? Why are you complaining about what someone wants to sell their items for? You don't like his prices then move on....

funny thing is someone will come across one of his auctions not having any idea what's going on in the ebeans bubble and hit buy it now cuz they're psyched about having that art on their wall.
on point like a decimalist?

Is it not common to place your BIN really high and entertain offers? To me that seems like good business sense.

not really, if someone goes to search for something and puts a price limit in their serch criteria, say $200.00, this seller misses out, doesnt seem that smart in th first place. A smart seller would list it a price around or a little bit about EB averages and then entertain offers. For instance, as a buyer, I was immediatley turned off by the high prices and moved on. The object of sales is to draw customers in not turn them away. If I have a used car, lets go with a 95 grand prix, Im not going to list it for $20,000 and then entertain offers. Im going to list it at a price the car may be worth or it commonly goes for, maybe a little bit higher THEN entertain offers.

dude it only takes one person to hit a buy it now for a high price there are many more people out there that have no idea about this place and ebeans and what something is actually worth. Many many people list it high and have it purchased for a higher price
