What is the card?

Debated posting the card but I decided against it. Nothing unlawful about what the guy is doing. I may find it a bit excessive but that's my opinion. And secondly at the end of the day I know nothing about the seller. Maybe he's about to lose his house or his wife is sick or he is in dire straits. Who knows.

I will brood in the corner silently.

Anyway, I see it all the time. Cards (that I would like to own) posted on eBay for either way more than they are worth or way more than the exact card just sold for on eBay or at some AH. Reality is, for me, eBay has become less and less of a viable purchasing option, and almost all of my acquisitions come from auction houses or through people on this and other boards/forums. That said, it totally sucks when a card you want is offered at a silly price; and it’s inifinately worse when you just passed on that same exact card for one reason or another and now some egghead thinks they are going to get 2-3x more.

Agree. Once in a blue moon something will appear on eBay I really need and it’s priced competitively and I grab it. Otherwise I roll the dice with auction houses. Factor in the vig and watch the process play out.
