Storytime BearsKrista don't feel bad at all for listing right now. You go girl!!!!!!! Just with me not buying , that should break ebay 
If the price suits you and there are currently no bids, then I'd go for it and offer the BIN ... it's your perogative after all.
Creative Design Studio (RKR4CDS).but on the other side of the coin, if there are all those people watching it, if they were really interested wouldn't they just bid???? See I am very confused by this, keep answers coming!!!
You've probably been fair to everyone with your revision. I wouldn't change it just to sell it as she suggested, but you've put the watchers on fair warning.
I myself do not put BIN, though to have that designation or to post a Reserve number is the same as viewing a bear's price tag at a show. And if I want it I'll have it no matter what.
I"ve often had to write to a Seller who cautions in an auction that if there's no interest (no bidding) they'll end the auction early. I've told them that I intend to bid but only at the end. Seeing that that practice doesn't generate bidding wars, they could still end it early (How do they know that I DO intend it to come home to me??) but I've gotten every item that I'd always intended to buy.
I'm probably going to have to duck from the onslaught but I use eSnipe: winning 99% of the auctions I bid on. To me it takes the decision-making out of my mind. No second-guessing and continually inching up my bids until they're far over my budget and I suffer Buyer's Regret.
As soon as I see items I like, they go on the Watch list (Thk Goodness eBay upped the # of watches a few years back!). If I intend to buy then I also enter my max bid on eSnipe and don't even think about it until I receive notification that I've won and to please pay.
So - as to 'Watchers don't mean Buyers', often they do, as everything I buy has been on a Watch. And all of my Sales have come from Watchers; savvy ppl who are disciplined, know how much they can afford to spend and wait it out, either in real time, by proxy bid or use one of the last-minute bidding services.
:hug: Thank you everyone who responded, you really helped me figure out an acceptable solution to this!!! :hug:
I am glad to say though that i didn't have to put a BIN on her, she ended up getting some bid, her resereve is not met yet, but at least she has bids!!! The lady who wanted the BIN has said that she will bid on Friday (the last day) no big deal, and has also asked me to make her a basket of puppies!!! I still haven't given her a definate answer for this yet as I know I wouldn't be able to make them all the same and sitting beside each other you would see all the differences but I guess a real litter are not identical either!!! This would be a huge commission and I am not sure I am ready for one yet, but the huge amount of money she is offering is going to be hard to turn down!!! I will let you know what I decide to do!!
Hugs,
Krista
