Dealers on ebay

Not to offend any dealers on ebay but I am wondering what are some of your thought about dealers picking up underpriced cards only to resell on ebay. I realize that they are in the business and need to make money to stay in the business but as a vintage collector on a budget I have been beaten numerous times by dealers looking for a bargain. Kind of disheartening losing a card I had my heart set on to a person only looking to make a buck.

The obvious solution for me would be to bid more but sometimes that doesn't work to stay within my budget. Just seems like the dealers are making it harder to find the card you want at the price you are happy to pay for it.

My post is more geared to people in the same boat as me. Also be aware I have only a couple of dealers in mind and am referring to them in particular.
