I have gotten to the point where I collect so much that unless I get a great deal I will generally only buy a card I am happy with usually in the 40-60 range.
I see this works for several reasons
The card is collector grade and would have interest from a broad group of people.
The card presents well so no real need for an upgrade.
The card isn't high grade so no temptation of selling.
I also found that if I upgraded a 30 to a 40, it would be hard to sell the 30, as such that is another reason why I won't buy a card knowing I will need to upgrade it.
So no I can fight back the urge pretty easy, but if something does cross my path at the right price I will pick it up.
