Joann has it right; I usually trip over my best deals on BINs or completely misdescribed and listed in the wrong place. Then again, I also have searches running in wrong places with oddball wording, and when one of those yields a great item (happens every once in a while), that's "skill" not luck. Occasionally there is a knowledge deficit that plays in my favor; used to happen a hell of a lot more (but that's what I get for writing articles and books and hosting informational web sites on cards I collect).

I do agree that if a must-have card comes up, there's no excuse for not putting your best bid forward for it, and no reason to lament if you don't win it despite your best bid.
