I think the thing is that not everyone is watching ebay on all of the time. It can be impulse buys for some people, and if there are only a very few copies of that card on sale on ebay to compare prices, people can pull the trigger and not know that they could've gotten a better deal before.
After seeing that thread on frankenstein cards, I had this sudden urge to buy game used cards, and picked up a Ruth Bat card. I probably overpaid and am one of those idiots.
