That's what an investor does. Collectors (like myself) buy when they have the money and sell when they don't.

I definitely agree now, but I remember dealing with Levi back in 1999/2000 and if I recall his prices used to be more competitive than what certain cards were selling on Ebay for at the time. That's obviously changed quite a bit today. Skip right over his Ebay listings every time, and haven't visited his site in about 10 years.

As a bidder in their auctions I receive Memory Lane's own it now catalogues, and I find them to be way overpriced. However, I got a couple real bargains on modern cards in their auctions. I got 1965 Topps Clemente and Koufax for about 30% less than what they were going for on ebay.

Just to clarify...

there is no buyer's premium on this auction. Still overpriced, would be much more fun if the items were truly one-of-a-kind items.

That's incorrect. Read their rules

I guess you just need to time it better, lol. Patience of a sniper, you'll almost always find somebody that has what you want a little cheaper than the last guy. Unless it's an ultra rare, super low pop count, extemely high demand card, in that case you don't really have any other alternative. But those for the most part are few and far between.
