3. Sellers have raised their prices above what I willing to pay. $2.75 for what I think is a common is way too much. Some of the big sellers just do not have the time to view each card and get the price fair.
4. I have no idea what a fair price is. (anymore) 2 to 5 times more what they were asking a year ago is too much. Other players (better) from the same set listed less then ones I need.

Especially if you collect something older that people have little reason to send in, point 1. is likely quite a lot of the explanation. I have that with what I mainly collect - I bought a metric ton of bargains early on and now its a case of paying more to fill in gaps.
There's probably a little of the other 3 going on to, and possibly also some of:
5. Some of the cards you want are listed by sellers with abandoned or semi-abandoned ports.
Plenty of bargains on the site more generally. I often find things way cheaper than eBay or Sportlots. Just doesn't sound like its what you are looking for that often these days.
It would be nice for people like us if they improved the watchlist so you watched all of a card - not just one random one of the ones for sale and gave the option to alert if any one got reduced to a given price or lower.
