Default Funny How theValue Jumps

It's not "gravitas" that drives these prices up on Mastro, REA, etc.
I bid on this Matty card on Ebay, as I noticed you did.

It's simply...."COMPOUNDED MATH"....every 10% increment on the bidding in
these major auctions causes the starting price to DOUBLE every 7 bids; and,
by 14 bids the initial price has QUADRUPLED. This, to me, is unacceptable,
and this is why I will not bid in these major auctions.

You really cannot beat Ebay when it comes to their "simple" bidding format.
