Absolutely agree with that.
A couple years ago I saw a card for sale that I wanted. It was the same card that I saw sold within the same year. I picked it up for over $500 for less than the seller purchased it for.
I asked the seller what gives and he just said that they really wanted the card at the time and at the time of the sale, he just wanted out of it. I'm pretty sure the seller could have held off for a little more time to at least break even on the transaction. I guess that was just being in the right place at the right time.
In this case I knew the seller was going to take a loss on the card and I was fortunate/happy to buy the card.
