One major AH vs another

One of my thoughts was similar. The people I know who could buy something like that are generally disciplined, and have a price in mind already and that price is somewhat fixed.

So if it's a card that's 50K, they're not going much above that. If there's 5 different ones, they'll have a bit of a lit of preferences, like maybe they like he third one then fourth then first. So they bid a bit under on the first, a bit over on the third, and have the fourth as a backup.

All things being roughly equal the prices should be pretty close.

On unique items, it may be a lot different.

My other thought was that the auction house choice may not matter much on a commodity or a hypothetical 50K card, but might matter for a specific card. One ah might be better with T206 than the others, but not have the best pool of buyers for a different card.
