So telling people not to bid is kinda. Counter intuitive. Sometimes waiting is good however u won't know how many points someone has on something until u bid it up.
It's good for the seller when people bid before the 24hrs left mark, but bad for the buyer. If no one bids till the last 24hrs, less people are competing for the item at the relevant time. If everyone bids early (before 24hrs left mark) than there's a bunch of dead bids marking the price up and those people will never win because the bid is to low. Now it's >4k which means the actual bid is probably somewhere near 6k
Exactly, people don't realize when they bid early they are just gonna end up paying more for the item. This card in particular is already up to about what I would expect it to go for and it still has almost 5 days left. Bidding it up may give you a better idea of what people are bidding, but with this much time left, people can put up auctions and earn more. For the seller though, this works out great. Instead of one person jumping in at the last minute and winning the auction for a steal, he's going to get a lot more than expected for this card. Sadly, I would bet the winner isn't even going to be one of the people with bids on it now because someone will jump in at the last minute and most likely pay a ton for this. Congrats seller, you are gonna get a ton for this.
