That's true, but if you have a Reserve that's in line w/ current values you are just protecting yourself from someone literally stealing a card from you by lowball bidding--and I'm not including those ridiculous 4x-6x BV Sellers.

I'm willing to sell my cards at fair market/decent values, but just because the economy is off I'm not going to GIVE quality cards away!
