The problem I have with slowing down, is as you improve your deal finding skills, there are just WAY TOO MANY good deals out there! Despite significantly raising the bar as far as what I will pick up (higher quality) and what I will pay (less), I still find deals. Too many deals.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
