If you've got the money and don't mind taking the risk, you can always run up their bids and make them pay top dollar for the cards they do buy. I remember when I was putting together my N2 Indian set. I could get NM examples for $25 or so. This new guy shows up and figured out his max bid was always $125 for high grade cards. Each time I saw him bid, I drop in a $124 and max him out. He put together a nice set, but it cost him about 4 times what it cost me and prices settled back down after he finished his set.
