[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1753039, member: 22331"]Doug, Based on my experience with local "dealers" they want to "cherry pick" at less than market pricing, rather than acquiring a large lot at a fair price and re-distributing properly through appropriate venues. Large volume dealers really haven't enough time to deal with the petty nuances of local wanabe "dealers". The large volume dealers have an appreciable investment in their inventories, where the wanabe dealers are bickering on virtually every item. and want to profit on every transaction. I make a "fair market" offer on complete lots taking the material that a specialty collector thought was neat but has less than "junk" resale value upon selling. I gamble as a hobby hoping that I can resell the less desirable material at a minimal loss, possible finding a future appreciative home for the "market acceptable" material.

A reasonable "real" dealer or investor who recognizes quality always arrives to purchase the lots offered. This happens regularly in the "real world" where you don't always win, but count on the average being positive. JMHO :)[/QUOTE]
