I definitely would be more aggressive on rarer items but a bargain is still nice to get. I am more jealous of the guy that finds a Fazzle or Lost Tamochan on a dusty shelf in a used bookstore for $20 than the person that won the latest rare on Ebay with a last second $1201.55 bid. I think if I had everything I wanted I wouldnt enjoy hunting for stuff anymore and would just hang up the Ebay ID and go find something else to do with the time.Jeez...I dont think I have ever been quite this long-winded.
Maybe bidding from his Blackberry or iPhone?
