I received an email through "ask seller a question" about an item I have listed. There are no bids on the item yet, and it ends Monday night. The bidder is asking me if I will put a "Buy it Now" on it for them. There was no mention of price from the buyer - I haven't answered email yet...what should I do?

It's not a really rare item for me - I have more to list.

Thank you in advance

I don't know how he expects to get it before Tuesday?

Express mail?

If that is why s/he wants to BIN it.

There is your answer. Tell them you have a slightly better one (No dust) that they can have for opening bid. They have 24 hours to pay pal or deal is dead. Best you can do.
Move on. many yak but don't act (Hey that rimes!)

good advice dacreson!

I got an answer - she is wanting it at the opening bid...thinks that is fair since there are no bids. This particular item always sells for over the opening bid.

I explained (nicely ) that I appreciated her offer, and to please bid on it if she was still interested without a BIN.

Giving her the benefit of the doubt, she's fairly new and I guess she saw it had no bids yet, so thought she would throw me a bone
