Default auctions on this site

the problem i have with an auction on this site are.

1. if i bid $75 for a card,the next high bid from a collector is $140 that collector just bought $140 card. on ebay that collector would have bought a $76 card.

2. i believe we are being played "for our passion for collecting Juan gonzalez cards" into paying a lot more than we would on ebay.

3 if i want a card bad enough i get it NOW! only I know what ones those are!

4 $ to each his own!

These aren't valid points as the auctions held here are SILENT AUCTIONS where the high bidder pays what they bid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_auction

At times, it does result in higher proceeds for the seller, of which I receive none, btw.

you yourself stated "at times it DOES RESULT IN HIGHER PROCEEDS FOR THE SELLER" BUT #1&2 are not valid points? this is from the FUNK&WAGNALLS dictionary! contradiction-noun #1. assertion of the opposite of a statement;denial.
#2. a statement that denies the validity of another.
#3. obvious inconsistency,as between two statements;discrepancy!

you just contradicted yourself!
and thats all i have to say about that!

This auction format is a different format than eBay, it isn't something illegal or unknown. You have problems with the auction because you believe you'll pay more for a card but you'll never know that for sure since the cards weren't auctioned on eBay.
