andy beckerfirst of all, we probably all have bought an item from scott.....and probably all happy and thankful a seller like him could provide such items. i know i have- thanks scott.
i could care less about payment terms and consignment fees....those affect the profits, not the sale price.
i think jay and scott m. hit this on the head. thanks for saving me the typing 
this is NOT about scott, this is about the auction houses that give different treatment to certain bidders. and unless the practices are DISCLOSED (as combining shipping on ebay would be) there is a very large problem.
i, and probably every other collector reading this, would like a fair playing field with no "behind the scenes" crap.
and for what it's worth, "loss-leader" is a joke, so far fetched that i can't even beleive you said that.
you paid $743.19 and a week later sell the item on ebay with a $500 reserve. c'mon.
and to be honest scott, i might need a "loss leader" on ebay, you definetly don't. sheeesh, i look you up just because of the material you handle.
something here ain't kosher
