How many feedbacks for sales do you have on eBay these days, Dale? Or how many multiples of "new" one sheets have you sold in the last 5 years?
I have only met one dealer in posters who doesn't actually collect anything at all, so it's really semantics we are discussing, I guess.

Jeez Phil, I feel like I need to take shower now after calling myself a collector :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: MoPo List [mailto:mop...@listserv.american.edu] On Behalf Of Phil Edwards Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 6:17 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] FS: mine or theirs ??? Let's see... you buy stuff, you sell stuff. That's called dealing in something, no matter what it is. If Michael wants $75 for his insert, that's his business, if he gets it even if it's not now it may be later. Using the "I'm a collector" routine that somehow makes one seem special, because you're not a dealer - who, as we know, are the scum of the earth until they have something you want and are usually the first place "collectors" turn for free advice when they are trying to sell something - is tiring. Most "champions of the hobby" set themselves up as "collectors first" but they are buying and selling regularly so are dealers. They even use the term "the hobby" so it doesn't sound like they are in business - "hobby" being a seemingly far more friendly term than "business"... because "business"usually means "profit".... and heaven forbid that a "collector" make a profit. "Hobby"measn we are all in this together, looking out for our mutually interested buddies. Sheesh! as Ari would say.
