I suppose a handful of general strategies come to mind:
1) Refrain from getting emotionally invested in auction items, to avoid getting into bidding wars that result in a Pyrrhic victory.
2) Stick to my convictions that prices can’t stay this high forever for mainline items, no matter how many times my fellow collectors declare that current prices are the new floor.
3) Keep grinding. I have a handful of player sets with a few items left to find. Maybe this is the year! If not, then keep searching for upgrade opportunities, but without losing my shirt to pick them up.
