I completely ignore past sales of BIN and focus on auction prices. This way when I buy cards I only buy at prices that I can "let it fly" and feel comfortable.
I will never be confused for Dean's Cards. I Buy low...flip fast...repeat.
Worked for me so far.

You admit you aren't a dealer and don't make a living selling cards but call people that don't want to lose money on an investment they have made "bad at their job"? You are right we need more dealers in this hobby that offer people pennies on the dollar for their quality items because that makes them "good at their job", because hey, they never lose money right!?!
Honestly, it isn't that hard to wait for a screaming deal that may show up from time to time and then sell for a pretty good profit. We have all done this. Making these types of deals in bulk and consistently turning a profit is very difficult and I know I don't envy people that try to make a living doing so.
