I was thinking about this the other day and was interested in what the results would be.

I chose never. I always bid on a card because I need it for my collection at that point in time. But of course there is nothing wrong with any of those choices.

The cards I bid are going towards a set I'm trying to complete and havin no intention of reselling or trading in the immediate future. My collection hopefully will be passed down to my daughter someday.

Fortunately for we "true" collectors poll questions 2 and 3 will get few hits.

Good luck with your upcoming auction.

I voted never, only because I so seldom bid for those reasons it may as well be never. Plus all of the above wasn't a choice.

Good stuff with "True" collectors. I thought either option 1 or option 3 might be a popular choice. As ultimately you may need to get a card in order to create that trade incentive with a 3rd party.

Default no choice is correct

I didn't vote since no choice is correct for me.

If I need a card for my collection then I will buy it or trade for it (if that's an option.)

If I see a card that I feel is undervalued I might buy it for trade bait or for resale.

It's not rocket science .

Default Poll Question

I always bid on something if I like the item, even if the cards was for resale
