We're past the mid-way point of the spring auction season, and I figure I'm batting around .250 (which is fine for a back-up catcher with a cannon arm, but I don't possess one, so I'm kind of SOL.) Anyway, with each mounting loss I find myself more likely to buy that "slightly overpriced" BIN that's been sitting in my watch list for the last three months. I start thinking about changing my objectives to include more attainable grades/cards. And I'm starting to feel that some overpriced sellers are maybe more reasonable than they once appeared to be. I'm not saying this is rational, but I feel like I all of a sudden have "house money," so I'm more likely to place an undisciplined bet and try to re-coup some of my "losses."
My question is whether anyone else, after losing a few auctions, changes their buying strategy? Do you think or do anything differently, or just stay the course? |
