Not that I have unlimited funds or even collect the same type of equipment
that is causing the debate here, but exactly where is this headed?
There seems to be alot of hostility to collectors outside of the list with
the same deep pockets a few of you in here have (and use when needed).
I am starting to feel that the hostility a few of you mega collectors have
against ebay is realy a fear that somebody else can get their hands on
equipment that might of ended up in your collections cheaper through
contacts instead of a "fair" open market. Is this going to turn into what
has happened in the stamp market where dealers were caught price fixing
material at auctions for their profit? Will raking some big spender over the
coals (because he did not spend "fair market value") realy help out the
collecting public at all? Am I going to get bitched at if I find a $200 item
for $5 and snag it without paying "the fair market value"?
