they were a present so i paid nothing and yes, they're silk.

£5 was what i was thinking but didn't know if this was too high minus postage??

I'm amazed they are silk- they look like satin.

Well- I hope she goes for your price! It's always nice to sell something we haven't actually had to pay for in the first place!

They are lovely, and £5 isn't unreasonable to pay for them. Is there a special reason this person can't wait for 4 days?

Sometimes people ask for a BIN when they think the item might go for a higher amount. Don't forget that a lot of the bidding on eBay items only happens in the last 20 mins or so. I'd tell her that you're not adding a BIN but she's welcome to bid on the item. You never know, it might end up going for over £10. Bidding fever takes over...I should know!

Aww they are beautiful!

I'd be inclined to not add one & just let the auction run as you might suprised how much you get for them.

Someone could have set up a snipe to bid in the last few seconds

Usually when someone asks for a BIN it's because they know they are worth much more!!

I ask for BIN if I fall in love with something, and don't want any other person to get it
