So true.
I spent 25% more on a low five figure card 4 months after it sold at public auction. At the time, I was going for a much more expensive card but lost out. I am still glad to have the runner up card in my collection even at a much costlier price.

While it's relatively unlikely Ashish is just going to flip a card a few days later for a substantial profit, eventually that buyer might be willing and able to pay more and get that card he had to pass on earlier. And as a dealer Ashish also can do trades and package deals. So it's not all that surprising that this model could work out, especially given time.
