That if you want to buy a card, you post a bid and if you want to sell a card you post an offer. That way, you can withdraw a bid if, for instance, you pull the card in the pack or you buy someone else you'd rather have. And, of course, if your PP balance dropped too low your bid would be cancelled automatically.

The AH would be much less cluttered, since for every card all the AH would have to show is the high bid, the low offer, the number of bids, and the number of offers. So there would be one entry per card (as opposed to the current state of affairs where there are almost 200 diamond and perfect historical SP up for sale). They could even list the owner with the high bid and the owner with the low offer.

Also, a lot of abuses like that Gagne card (or 45 OVR cards selling for 35000 PP's) would be corrected. The world's stock exchanges (mostly) work this way, and have done so for hundreds of years.
