Experiences like that, are the kind of thing that drove people away from the industry. Now I think I know why I stopped collecting when I was 13, and then started again 6 years ago when I started buying off the net.

It sounds like looking at the Buy It Now prices a lot of dealers have on eBay. They can have a $100 card listed with a $150 BIN and most likely they bought it for $50. The same overpriced cards have been on there so long it's starting to look like an online museum instead of a place where you can actually buy anything at a reasonable price.
