Exactly. And why should the dealer care what he paid for it? He should know the market for the stuff he's dealing in, so what difference does it make what he paid? I never factor that in to my pricing. If I guess retail to be $100 for this item, why do I care if I paid $10 or $50?--I'm asking $100. As a collector, when the dealer says, "Let me see what I have into it," what I hear is, "Give me a second to look you over and see how badly you want this thing and how much you might be willing to pay for it."
