Great topic.

I've talked about this issues with other collectors many times.

I always love hearing responses from dealers that couch their answers with some leeway to take advantage of the ignorant person.

I've always wanted to have someone walk around shows and see what offers dealers would be made on an expensive card by someone claiming they have no idea if it's worth anything at all.

I'm also sure all the dealers wouldn't mind their if their inevitable low-ball offers to self-admitted, uninformed, non-collectors were posted on the internet.
