I don't recommend spending more than, say, 5500g per 5k card; that's a 10% charge for the card is how I look at it. Normally people will post them for ~5100g, which I find to be perfectly acceptable, albeit a bit odd, because at that price they are losing money from the AH cut. Some people actually know what the fees and stuff add up to, and will sell a card at that price - that way you get what you want, and they still get their 5k. However, this rarely happens as our community is full of greedy people and see no reason to help others out.
