How did he fleece a school teacher? I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that he (them?) didn't twist an arm or threaten his family in order to buy what he wanted. What was to stop the teacher from shopping the thing around? I think I recall a thread on this some time ago, offered a vacation deal or something, right? I also think I remember that there was some other buyer trying to get the piece for a long time and Bruce swooped in and got it instead. That's terrible, but the seller should have been aware that the thing was worth something special if 2 collectors are hovering around trying to get the thing. It wouldn't be a great deal if you don't get it for under the market value, otherwise it is just a purchase.
And come on, I might just be an infrequent poster here but I get tired of people jumping all over Bruce for doing just what he does. Lets see some more great deals!
