That's pretty much one of the reasons why I only buy graded cards. There is (typically) a price range to go off of which makes shopping for a particular card a lot easier. Everyone seems to think their card(s) are worth more than the next guys. But if you can get a card for "pennies," then it's probably not worth much.
On a side note,
I track many different cards on eBay, both raw and graded. so when the time comes to buy it I have a general idea about price. If you have the time and patience I would suggest doing the same. I've gotten some really good deals on graded cards and even bought raw and had graded and increased the value of some cards.
