greed is why it so high - it isnt enough to have one or two.......

now that you big spenders have driven the card up and bought yours at a high price, the rest of us will get ours for $5 after he lowers his opening bid. the card is novelty more than anything much like the oversized cards. I will but those at $2 or $3 but not $10.
oh, you are wrong about the envy part. cards are cool and you have a cool collection, but nothing to envy over. My one of something is just as good as your 8 of the same thing.

the magnets are a perfect example - anyone of us could have bid $10 and justified it for 6 magnets that nobody else has. now, none of us will probably bid on a similar lot again. if one comes up, it will probably not sell or sell for an opening bid of $1. now, everyone has one and if you want more they will sell cheap. its when you drive up a price on a card you already have that doesnt make since. I call it it greed & you call it envy??????? they are not the same thing. You are right about living in a free country. you can buy whatever you want at whatever price. my point is simple (to me at least) in that you can have almost as many cards at a fraction of the price by working together.
