IanN, I don't come out in the open on items I ordinarily collect. Certain books and magazines are always sniped, BIN potential or not. But if I need a new drawn reciprocating dinglearm for my truck, I'll stomp on a BIN (to use your charming term) out in the open. Fortunately for me, there are few BINs on books and magazines, at least the ones I'm hunting for.
