[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2359896, member: 76863"]Why? By that logic dealers shouldn't ever collect themselves as well. Almost every dealers collects in someway, it just isn't always in the material they usually sell. The days of one or the other are over. Dealers will be collectors and collectors will be dealers when they see fit. The internet made it very easy to do both. The real problem is people being critical of others for how they choose to participate in the hobby or for what they collect. Flippers and speculating and investing isn't a threat to the hobby, it is very healthy to have that occurring and the extra participation. The time to worry is when everything has become so irrelevant none of that occurs. So it is okay for you to sell but if someone else does they aren't a real collector? There seems to be a few double standards going on in the various messages. Because that's how dealers stay in business and a collector shouldn't be buying like a dealer from your other responses.
