I don't buy the economy story anymore it's just a fact that people are out to get the best deal possible and aren't willing to just pay what the seller is asking. It started at the retail level with Black Friday deals and has slowly trickled down to ebay. People finally woke up and asked themselves why would I pay $5 for a card when I can probably wait until the very last second and get it for $2 or $3 ? All the power is in the buyers hand and eventually if the person selling wants to move the item bad enough they will give in and sell it for what they can get and not for what they want.

Makes a lot of sense. Patience almost always leads to the best deals...especially in cards.

There's just a lot of pressure and hype by manufacturers and sellers to buy as soon as possible.

Let's face it. This hobby is dying

I don't think so. Anyone who has been a round more than 10-15 years have seen this all before.
