[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1711013, member: 8797"]Lots of variables to consider. I would put weight on why the seller is selling. Since they have an established repartiore I think the 'why' should be considered. Is he selling to raise money for a charity or non profit? If so, new owner should go the American Pickers route and give back a chunk, writing it off as a charitable donation. They are supposed to have an established relationship, and that should count for something as well. Otherwise, I agree that the dealer should not be expected to share in the windfall. After all, he could have just sold it as-is. It seems like you are disappointed in the dealers attitude. Is this one of those situations where 'ya think ya know a guy...'
