I agree with Ted about the new eBay system being bad.

There were times I'd be looking a type card that was raw, trying to decide if it was something I wanted to bid on. Sometimes I wouldn't know much about the card (and didn't want to take years to learn, since I was only interested in buying one example of that card type), and so I'd look and see who the other bidders were. If they were people I knew and trusted, I'd be more inclined to bid.

I realize that I could just ask, but I don't like to "out" an auction. So I'd sometimes just look at the bidders.

Today I'm less inclined to bid on that card raw, I'm more comfortable waiting til one comes around in the holder.
