[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 1473148, member: 16269"]Just another thought here..... Detecto, your parents need to auction off some heirlooms immediately and can't wait to put them on ebay so the alternative is to use a local auction house. In your thinking, everyone should be able to get a deal at auction. So, at the auction your family's heirlooms are in, there are no greedy hoarders, no one bidding up the auctions etc.. Everybody that wins gets an incredible deal. However, your family winds up getting 10 cents on the dollar for their precious heirlooms that should have gone for at least 10x more. How would you feel then? Wouldn't you want to get the most money for the items you sold? When you're buying, you want to get the best deal. Why? Because like everyone else you want to pay as little as possible for a valuable item. Why? So you can sell it to someone else and so you can make money. You can't have it both ways. At the auctions I sell at, I want the greedy hoarders, the unknowlegable, the buyers with more money than brains! I want to make as much money as possible. At the auctions I buy at, I'd like to be the only one there.[/QUOTE]
