and many of the established dealers are longing for a return to the early days of eBay, when unknowing buyers regularly paid outrageous prices for common material, and that just ain't going to happen! Bruce,
I am sure I speak on behalf of many
established dealers here and that is to say you don't speak for
us. Your statement is offensive and untrue.
I personally think back
fondly for that brief time when dealers with knowledge, passion, and
integrity regularly enjoyed selling on this new fangled Ebay putting out their
shingle and inviting people to come in and visit Dramatically
new contacts were made with an exciting influx of
international buyers and dealers responded in kind
by offering paper at well established prices, the great majority set
by the larger auction houses who were supervised by a small cabal of
individuals. (I wonder where they are now?)
Then Wal Marts began to spring up
bringing a mediocrity of selection coupled with the drone
of mudslinging and hubris over their loudspeakers saying
its better now.
There is more to this business
than packing shit well.
