Sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I end up paying close to the buy it now. If a seller gets offended by a low offer then forget them.

I guess I should have added that in addition to using Bidnapper, I also do this sort of thing right here. I've been waiting for this LeJeune to come out of the stratosphere into FMV for a while; the guy just relisted at $650, after having listed this bike at $700 several times in a row, although now it is a regular auction, rather than BIN. He had rejected my offer of $425. Patience, patience...
