If you are buying a card through an auction house, you have to keep the BP in mind when deciding how much you are comfortable bidding.

Thanks guys.
I knew there were fees, but had no idea they were that much.
So in reality, if you paid the $65,000 total, all fees in and wanted to or had to sell the card in a month or two, would you list/reserve it for the $65,000 you paid or the $55,000 that it is actually worth? (Rounding numbers only)
Also, if it gets listed in VCP, is the $55,000 price the one that gets entered or the $65,000, total cost amount?
