i barely bid on things with reserves...have a friend that collects Coty Sensabaugh or however you spell it, a DB on the Titans, where most of his stuff goes for $5 or less, and he says some stuff is up at hostage prices...
I see lots of stuff listed with crazy prices in my regular searches...what I love is when a guy will have a card for say, $100 and you offer $75 and get declined, then finally he puts it at auction and you win it for like $35...done that several times...
