Corruption and fraud aren't going to help the hobby, and there will certainly be some attrition due to it. But the hobby will somehow manage to survive, perhaps a little smaller but still with a pulse. That said, it's disgusting some of the things that go on. If collectors weren't so addicted many would walk away, but the lure of stuff is too great.

If eBay has taught us anything, it's that there are a lot of painfully stupid people in this world.

...and a whole lot of smart ones who accept it as the course of doing business.

You call them painfully stupid, P.T. Barnum calls them a new market.
Though, in defense of stupid buyers, there are a lot of stupid sellers too. Last edited by drcy; 08-22-2013 at 07:17 PM. |
