I doubt any dealer is going to buy a card as above and price it for what he paid for it(comp price), they will seek a higher price level and set the new price level going forward.

Clearly now is the time to SELL. Whether it's regular dealers overpaying for inventory, breakers trying to squeeze people to finance the currently obscene prices for sealed high-end, or repackers paying 90% (there were many signs at this show saying that), the whole thing feels way overcooked. I'm not here to pay for someone else's bad purchases, at least that's how I felt at this show. I was there offering good prices for a handful of mainstream items based on recent sales history. Maybe people just wanted some extra Christmas money.
There eventually comes a point when the buyer just has to say, "No."
