RichardJust my two cents:
I have been beaten my share of times by dealers for items which I thought that I was going to win at a decent price. The same names come up over and over again - people who buy and sell full time as well as those weekend warriors who just look to flip cards for a quick buck as supplemental income.
While the initial reaction may be distain for those who are swooping these cards out of the hands of "collectors" who want the cards for their personal collections rather than flipping, keep in mind that a lot of these full time dealers have many customer want lists they are trying to fill. They could be bidding on their customer's behalf, and the card's next stop may be permanently in someone's collection afterall.
