So we're all aware of Auction sniping but what do you know about Botz buying up BIN's as soon as their posted? It happened to me as the seller and I actually made out because of it lol.
How many of you are BIN Boting?? :D

Well I don't know FOR SURE, but literally the second I posted it, it sold. Like I clicked "Submit" and it was sold and Paypal payment received IMMEDIATELY within maybe 1.5-1.7 seconds, to the speed that it was just about humanly impossible how fast it happened.

I used to use this trick to sell ****ty SNES and Genesis games on eBay. I'd make a listing for something like Wheel Of Fortune and put *NOT EARTHBOUND* in the title, then write stuff like "This auction DOES NOT include Hagane, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger" etc
Make sure it's set to no returns, and set the BIN at like $60 and just wait for a bot to snipe it.
I did get a PM from one unhappy reseller that simply said, "**** you dude"

This is pretty amazing. Technologically easy but "Who would have thunk it?" is my reaction.
Buy-It-Now is certainly my preferred scenario both as a buyer and as a seller, and this makes it happen for both parties.
As a seller, I want to make what I can, realistically, and I want the sale to happen as quickly as possible so I get my money soon.
As a buyer, I want what I want, at a "fair" price, and I want it quickly without tension or interference.
