Not many cards, and not usually old ones. I've won a few nice stamps with marker bids on Ebay. Especially when they're mislisted and/or end at bad times. Like a nice variety CV $500 listed as the regular version and ending easter morning at 8 AM EST from a seller in Norway. Yes, really. Opener was 40 and I was the only bidder.

I've had a few things go so cheap my typical marker of $5 has held up. It's always a pleasant surprise when it does.

The opposite is also true, There's stuff I've bid on at well over retail and had that bid blown away with 3 days to go- Not just out bid like a shill, but more like 3x a bid that was already 20% above retail.
