Dean's Cards
Again, for me this situation is not about anyone's wife, mother, kid, etc. It was great your wife cares enough about your hobby to want to get you something you were looking for-a thoughtful gift-price wasn't the issue for her. The issue I have is about the badmouthing of someone that really didn't do anything wrong. If the seller wants to be known as a high-priced dealer, that's a reputation he chooses. Many, maybe most, people will not buy from him. This doesn't mean he is necessarily doing anything wrong. We in the hobby know everything is negotiable, and maybe that's why he sets the bar high-again, I don't know said seller, so I cannot vouch for him personally-just looking at the facts presented. Go into any retailer, and they are happy to sell you an item at full retail price-the next person in the door might have pulled up an online coupon and paid 25% less for the item. Nothing wrong with that....respectfully, that's my point here.
