Bidding 3000 when I can bid more and am willing to bid more is inviting a loss.

I think you missed my smiley face. Bidding 5,015 wouldn't get you anywhere near winning that Corbin card right now. The current average is over 8,000. If I'm reading you correctly, though, your strategy is to bid a price so high that no one else is likely to compete with you? Is that what you mean by "will win it for sure?" If so, while that does allow for a true "max bid" strategy, it would also be a horribly inefficient waste of PP. You'd pay less getting into a live auction bidding war. It sounds like the format you'd prefer would be a sealed bid auction wherein we all put in a single bid without knowing the current price.
