Never thought of it like that but you are right. If a card is worth 10,000, and you are the bidder at 9500, you may get it for under market value because someone doesn't want to overpay. Maybe the goal in the auctions is to lock in the price below what its worth and hope no one goes over.
Sort of like The Price is Right.
