AGREED! Coming from ANOTHER collector/flipper who put in the time to learn about "stuff"...
It becomes a chess match of sorts... Do I, on the "buyer's side" of the table, know more than the person on the "seller's side" of the table.
The seller will CERTAINLY NOT prevent me from paying too much for something at their sale. Therefore, is it my responsibility to tell them that they have under-priced something???
I think not...
You priced it and I am willing to pay your price. However, I will NOT haggle price over something that is clearly already a bargain.
