I have both Stirling Albion v Rangers programmes from 12/13 on sale on ebay, buy it now for £3.00. 2 people have it on their watchlist.

Why would you have a cheap BIN on your watch list?

to see if it will sell at that price so they know what to list there's at if it sells

Nice one mate, I never thought of that, it's certainly possible.

I watch bin items in the hope that if the item doesn't sell they will lower the price! Has worked on a number of occasions and sometimes it hasn't! Crying or Very sad

I think that would be more likely if it was an expensive item Phil, not 2 new programmes for £3, you never know though. I have reduced the price on one or two before, right enough.

I tend to watch certain BINs, although generally the more expensive items, as I like to keep a record of what certain Blackpool items go for and if it can be deduced, who bought them.

In my experience the majority of "watchers" are not serious buyers but just seeing if an item sells and for what as they also have the same item.

When I first started selling on Ebay about 15 years ago, I used to get excited that items had loads of watchers until I realised that most of them had no intention of bidding.

I tend to not get excited about watchers either after I had 11 watchers for a 1957 Linfield programme and there was only one bid at 99p. I only watch expensive items to give me a guide as to what it's worth when I am ready to buy it in the future.

I do the same with Millwall items. I log the price and the sellers name though.

Probable Rangers supporters not sure if their team will still be in existance by the time the listing finishes
