<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 8025005, member: 25270"]You have a lot of questions here, but I'll take a crack at one of them: The way I look at it as far as buying from a shop is it's their business and it's their job to know what to charge for their inventory. I would never feel good taking advantage of a regular person and buying for less than the value, but this happens with dealers all the time and it's just part of the game. And honestly they are selling them to you for more than they paid, so no one is losing out there. When you resell something your main goal is to sell for more than you paid for it, not necessarily get the highest price possible. Many dealers will sell for less than they know they're worth just because they have a willing buyer in front of them and they know it could take months to find the right buyer at the book price. </p><p><br /></p><p>As tempting as it is to show off your knowledge, when I'm in a position to buy I reveal as little as possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
