Well it isn't profitable if they are selling the whole set. Afterall the person buying the set didn't want every card as hard as the person that was the high bidder on card after card. As buyers we all know the best deals come during set breaks when all the card are auctioned off at the same time so its the reverse effect on the seller..

but yeah I agree with the rest..after the chase is over you go for something else. I also think everyone fears the market going down and they don't want to be caught with several high value sets (that consist of many high grade common cards which are the ones to worry about) if the market tanks....
