3) Won't buy from because dealer/dealers running table is someone I don't want to deal with
4) Table to check out because I don't know/haven't seen before
5) Someone I will buy from

I only stop at #4 and #5 which saves a lot of time. I utilize this same strategy online which seems to work perfectly. Not sure why everyone gets worked up. I can price my items at 10 times current market or 10 percent of current market--I don't get why other people care that much how people go about selling THEIR stuff. If they are not in your consideration set move along.
In theroy I agree with you 100%. And no, I don't spend a ton of time on it - sorry if my post indicated otherwise. It's just inconcevable to me that someone would get away with those type of prices. I guess for entertainment value, I'm curious to know specifics if indeed Dean does move a substantial volume in grossly overpriced vintage material.
