Paying $1000 for a modern book is just stupid.

I wouldn't be buying any of these hot books at the moment unless you can get them for cover price.

In 2017, I was told this exact same thing when  I paid $1375 for a 9.8 UF4 variant.  Last one sold yesterday at $8950.

You MIGHT could have gotten away with your first sentence. The second one just makes your whole point seem silly.

E-bay's cancellation policy needs to change. 

Sellers are abusing it with zero repercussions.

Agree. There should be a freeze on the seller's ability to list items after 2 or 3 sale cancellations just like it is for auction bidders who win and don't pay.

See how that guy feels about what he paid a year from now. FOMO purchases are great for sellers, but bad for buyers.

I truly believe UF4 is only going to keep going up. I bought a CGC 9.4 that could potentially press to a 9.6. I paid $110 back in March. I could easily triple my money at this point. I’m hanging onto until I retire. That being said I couldn’t spend a grand or more on one book. There are those that can and will certainly see a nice return when selling.

Like all those people who bought a New Mutants 98 for 1000? If they sold today, they'd be taking a 20% hit. They might come out even in a decade, as long as all those people who bought in the peak, aren't all trying to sell at the same time.

The only person I ever heard say might could was from Georgia.

Well, he said "might could have gotten away", which isn't a Georgia saying.  Georgia uses "might coulda gotten away".

Almost...South Carolina.

 

From StackExchange:

To sum up:

Modal stacking is not sloppy, meaningless, or redundant; linguistically, it is a systematic process (which I think is really cool!). It is just non-standard in English — something one would avoid using outside of this particular dialect group, especially because (like many features of Southern English) it carries a certain stigma outside of where it is used. But within that group, it is a productive and useful construction.

Haha, I found that too because I looked up the usage having never heard anyone say that before.
