MarkBidder 2 really wants this card. No doubt due in part to the recent discussion of T206 sunsets, Bidder 2 stays up late at night placing bids on the object of his obsession.
Looking to take advantage of the seller's offer to combine shipping, Bidder 2 has placed 43% of his bids with this seller (100% of his bids if you exclude items in other categories).
Bidder 2 is a new ebayer, as evidenced by his feedback score of zero, so he hasn't yet learned that these cards come around often or that this is a $42 card. Consequently, when another bidder placed a "top all" bid, it infuriated Bidder 2 who began attempting to outbid his opponent. His frantic state of mind is corroborated by an accidental bid of $20,000; one has to be overly excited to mistype not one, but two extra zeros. Despite seeing the other bidder's max prior to retracting the erroneous bid, Bidder 2 still had confidence he could win the card. Sadly, it appears that Bidder 2 does not have quite enough gusto and it appears the top all bid will carry the day at $510.
I hope this loss does not discourage Bidder 2 and that he continues to bid on his favorite seller's cards.
