If someone is willing to spend higher than what our little VCP says, who are we to judge? You can't have it both ways, I'm sure when you want to sell a card you want as much as you can get.
Same scenario, just with a larger budget.

I don't see a problem. I still look at card collecting as a hobby. It is something that I enjoy. If the time ever comes when collecting cards is no longer enjoyable, I will walk away from the hobby just as easily as I walked into it.
As far as a card selling for more or less than VCP, maybe no one has the right to judge that, but myself and others do have the right to judge the means at which the price was reached.
So back to topic. Whether or not the buyer is willing to pay for the card or not, "pushing" the price is just another form of manipulating/controlling the final sale price. A new word for another word that already exists.
