It just doesn't seem worth it for someone who has such a huge collection, but maybe that's just me...

I was an underbidder on one of those items, so I actually do find it annoying to see the person who outbid me did it solely for the purpose of trying to flip it the next day. So yeah, he's free to do what he wants, but it's just more annoying to see why I was outbid.
I just don't get that. I bet a high percentage of items in any auction are bought by people with the intention to resell.
