In general, yes. Like I said, I usually end up somewhere in the middle. Seems like buying at 80% of comps is in favor these days, which basically knocks of the BP anyway. Say comp is $1k, offer is $800, settle at $850. Seller nets more than they would have at auction and buyer pays less.

I do find this approach works best with relatively common cards with a decent amount of comps. If it's something rarer than that's a different deal. It also works well if I sell something to the person first using this method too.
