This issue has been going on for several years, since the downturn in the hobby. Collectors won't buy a straight sale (private) card, which is high end, as they think they will pay less in auction. The mentality being that if someone else is willing to pay 5000 at auction, then I will pay 5200. But if it were offered for 4700 privately, then no way.....as I might get it cheaper in an auction setting. A lot of us have had cards that won't sell privately, or on a BST, sell for more in auction. It has less to do with the venue as much as it does the way it's being sold.
