If you need one card.......
If you need one card to complete a set or any type of run you are collecting, if its not a real easy card to find in your price range, will you spend more than the card is really worth on a BIN if you find one, would you bid higher than normal on one in an auction, or would you be stubborn and wait until you can find one that you feel is priced right even if it takes a long time?
I know myself, I would pay more to get one faster if its a card that doesnt pop up frequently in a price that I can afford. I would push my "envelope of affordablility" because I have no patience and when I really want to complete a Yankee team set and need that one card, I want it big-time!!!

Yep, I'm with you. I have no patience. If I want it, I buy it...

With some cards, "the time to buy it, is when you see it". Usually this saying involves a premium.

Yes I have done that a few times most recently to finish my Series 2 T210's.The problem is that every time I pay a premium for a card I have been having trouble locating another one pops up within a week that I would have been just as happy with.Oh well......

On certain items I pursue, the right price for me is often much more than most collectors would pay. I will pay what a card is worth to me, though I am quite happy to pay a bidding increment higher than what a card is worth to the underbidder beneath my bid!

If the card is really tough then sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet and grab it when becomes available, even if it's over the perceived book value. If it's that tough then the perceived book value could be understated.
