While I knew it has happened, I was completely ignorant that it apparently happens so frequently. I must be more careful in the future and avoid those last minute bidding wars. I would prefer to simply use "Buy it Now" except that sellers seem to think that cards should sell for a minimum of double book value for buy it now.

Does anyone else remember the good old days when there were actual "stores" that sold cards? You could go inside and sit at a table flipping through an endless number of albums picking out the cards you wanted. You could usually pick out a stack of cards and make an offer to the dealer and the dealer would make a counter offer and then you'd make the purchase.
