Smashing BIN: The "Getting Sent An Offer" BIN Smash with James (@madcitycollector)
James (@madcitycollector) is back on Stacking Slabs, and this time we're diving deep into the psychology behind smashing BINs. From watching the watchers to understanding set scarcity, this episode unpacks the decision-making process behind one of James’ biggest buy-it-now pickups: a 2017-18 Topps Chrome UEFA Champion's League Red Refractor Luka Modrić PSA 10.
We talk through:
- Why soccer collectors need to trust instincts when there are no comps
- How club loyalty and team collectors can change market dynamics
- What happens when a card sits and no one bites
- The eBay Vault price dilemma
- Building intentionality through set collecting
If you've ever stared at a BIN too long and wondered whether to hit it—this one’s for you.
