I agree with the post above (packs). Know your limit and stick to it. The beautiful thing about this hobby is that 9 times out of 10 another copy will come around. If your patient you will be able to scoop the card up for the price you are willing to pay or less.

I've gotten caught up a few times with the bidding...if I place a bid and 2 minutes later someone out bids me, my heart says go after it and I end up overpaying. I'm sure wen you look at sold listings you will see the prices all over the map and not always trending up or down..

Try your best to be the guy who gets the card he wants at a price lower than your willing to pay.

Would love to hear some stories on how buyers have swooped in and landing a bid fish on nearly nothing!
