Using common sense and your numbers here is reality.

It just makes the guy paying $500. look stupid for paying $500. for something he can buy at $200.
What if the "rest of the buying public" is not involved?

So what if only two people bid on that card? Me at $500 and the other guy at $200. The auction started at 99cents. Is the card worth $200 because 2 people were willing to pay that much? Does it only take two people to determine the card's worth since you're saying 1 is not enough? Had I not seen the auction, and it sold for 99cents, would that same card only be worth 99cents?
