To those criticizing this as unethical exactly how many copies of a particular card are you allowed to own before its unethical. I'm sorry but I just see that position as silly at best.

This! A person's right to acquire and do as they will with their property is the key here. No one in entitled to be able to acquire "x" card @ "x" price thereby creating an obligation for others to stand aside or not engage in what is perfectly legitimate behavior in order to create a path. I think John Stuart Mill would even agree with that, not sure about Immanuel Kant.
I understand the frustration but this is not an ethics issue. Bid more or wait.
