<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1711000, member: 33176"]Wow, what a hard question to consider. I am not a dealer, just a collector/hoarder, so I can see myself in the place of the seller. If the dealer never mentions it to the seller, the seller is not hurt and life goes on for him. The dealer, on the other hand, can congratulate himself on a great deal and may or may not lose sleep over it. If the dealer does have it reslabed as an MPL and sells it for big bucks, he could contact the seller and just say that he got much more for it than he initially thought he would (mostly true) and wants to share with the seller. Now since the dealer was the one bearing the bulk of the (I want to say risk here, but that is not quite the word I want), he should get the lion's share of the profit and is under no obligation to let the seller know all the behind the scene goings on. The seller should be happier than he was and have increased confidence in the buyer and the buyer has a clearer conscience. I'll stop here since it could go on as long as one of Detecto's posts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
