A - Still graded with an inflated "Buy It Now" price

B - Cracked/raw as an auction with a photo/description contrived to convince the buyer that it's the most "breathtaking" card ever printed

It just annoys the hell outta me.



why is it annoying? you didnt win, bid more next time and you wont have to be annoyed. Obviously you bid as much as you were possibly willing to pay, so someone else was willing to pay more. there is no such things as sniping, both parties put in the maximum amount they were willing to pay, whether it was anytime during the auction, or 1 second left to bid, and his amount was more.
