Obviously, delusional prices on eBay are hardly anything new in 2025. My new favorite trick is these sellers who I think have a reasonable BIN on their item; then when I look closer it's not really a BIN - it's what they want for an opening bid.

I always just assume there are those few people who actually have the means to go along with the hair-brained notion that just because something is more expensive, it inherently must also be the best.

I'll stick with groaning on my occasional overspend purchases of 20% or more over comps on eBay, simply because I want whatever card, it's not available at the last 3 shows I've been to - and I'm tired of never finding one that's reasonably priced. Invariably if I sell this card a year or so later, I take a complete haircut (Buy high, sell low). This is part of the reason I'm committing to "stop" selling stuff in 2026. I digress...
