Outbid twice for the same card, by the same guy

I got outbid on this card four days ago:

Then again on another copy of it today:

By the same guy. How infuriating is that? I did some digging and found out that he's bid on dozens of super-expensive cards from the same 07-08 Chronology product. I mean, he must have bought $5,000 worth of Chronology cards in the past month alone. Is this guy Bill Gates or something? If it was just one time, I could deal with it, but this guy seems to be trying to get every single Chronology card in existence. I can't compete with someone who can afford to throw that kind of money around. Grrr.

man that must suck!

sorry man. Same thing happened to me on very low pop Dr. J and Wilt Chamberlain cards. Same bidder on both. In hindsight I should have doubled my bid, but some people out there don't put prices on this stuff.

man that sucks. maybe next time.

next time bid higher then 51.01..

exactly..if you want it that bad, you gotta be prepared to spend, the reality of the hobby is that there will always be someone with more money than you

Next time I see one of those, I won't be playing around. But I'm not going to go nuts trying to outbid this guy.

[tarheelsnipe]

I'll keep my eye out. If I see any of them floating around on ebay or naxcom, i'll pm you. We got your back. Good luck.

that might be gharper2 from HK...he buys in great quantities, he collects with his son, he has tons of cash to throw around.

You're right, Braves, that's exactly who it is. Apparently he's gobbling up all the high-end cards from Hardwood too. It seems like he just snipes in a ridiculously high bid that he knows no one else could match at the very end of the auction. Who is this guy and how can I sick the mob on him?
