I remember several years ago when I had spotted one of those notebooks on ebay, that has the E95/E96 type players on the cover. It was going somewhat unnoticed and I was hopeful. It then got outed on the board and went for something like 5k. Forget all of the reasons for and against outing, as a collector I was bummed. I didn't win it as I didn't have 5k to spend on it.

I understand that feeling Leon, I've had that same feeling losing a card in the last couple of seconds on a regular ebay auction that wasn't outed (as far as I knew) anywhere.
The funny thing about this subject is that I bet the same people who are against the outing of an auction (from a buyers standpoint) would have a totally different stance if the topic was about a card that they were selling
I bet we wouldn't hear a peep out of them
