<p>[QUOTE="kookoox10, post: 1826638, member: 31129"]To the OP, you have to understand that it is okay to reap some sort of winfall from the hobby. Do you think it would be a different story if someone that had an extensive collection from a loved one, decided to sell the lot to a dealer? And said dealer lowballed the collections worth for his/her personal gain? It happens way too often from the A-B transaction without anyone batting an eye, but when B (Customer) takes advantage of A (Dealer), all of a sudden, we have a conscience if there was an accidental cherrypick. The dealer/pawnbroker has held on to this inventory for a period of time, it would be their responsibility to research their new acquisitions before they turn the inventory for resale. So that they can profit to meet the overhead expectations, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some may not agree with my philosophy, but this is a commonplace practice. On both sides of the ball.
