<p>[QUOTE="Pilkenton, post: 1226359, member: 23961"]There is a military collectable dealer in the area. I've never bought anything from him. I sold him a knife a few years ago. He doesn't know me from Adam. I called him a few months ago. I had a huge Revell model of a battleship still sealed in the box. Too big and fragile to eBay. I called him and asked if he was interested. He said no. He then asked for my name, number, and e-mail. He said he'd see what he could do. A few days late, a hobby shop called me. They had a customer looking for something like that. I went to the hobby shop, thinking he was going to buy it and sell it to the customer. The owner called the customer and asked me to wait. He felt that I would get a better price directly from the customer instead of using him as the middleman. A few days after the transaction, the military store owner called me and asked if all went well. Now that's class.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is a comic book shop in the area. I don't buy comics to collect. I went in with a stack of comics. I wanted his opinion. It was kind of busy there, but the owner took his time going through my comics. He told me which ones to sell and which ones not. He spent a good half hour teaching me about comic collecting. When I left he gave me an Overstreet price guide. It was two years old, but he gave it to me. He also gave me his card and told me to call him anytime. I never bought or sold anything to this guy, and I've never been back in the shop, but when I call him, he recognizes my voice. He calls me the eBay dude. Now that's class.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are the way to run a small business. If you're busy, say so.
