Sharks And Dealing With The Seedy Side Of The Hobby!

Was going to leave this alone but the more I think about your post, the more offensive I find it. Your examples are absolutely absurd.




Since the "slow kid" lacks the mental capacity to enter into a legal and binding contract (of which a purchase is), that is not ok. Nobody here has ever advocated for such a thing as far as I can recall. Please point me to the post where someone did if that is the case.




Again, this would be theft. Theft is a crime and nobody on this forum has ever advocated committing a crime in order to "maximize profit" as you put it. If they have I would love to have you point out where.

Am I breaking some kind of law when I try to negotiate a price with a seller whether it be a "business" or a private individual? Afterall I am only trying to maximize the amount of money in my bank account but I do it all the time. Sometimes the business/individual is willing to sell an item at a price lower than they have advertised and other times they aren't. In my humble opinion, you are a fool if you have never attempted to negotiate the price of goods or services at any point in your life. As long as neither party makes false and/or misleading statements AND both parties are free from duress then there is absolutely nothing wrong with the free negotiation of an exchange of goods/money.

You have yet to cite a single example of anything close to dishonest or unethical. I have to agree with a previous poster, it would be very interesting to know what you do for a living given your obvious hatred of free market capitalism.

Here's a link to another thread started by the OP of this thread. Take careful note of the second paragraph. It's obviously ok to buy items for half of FMV when you are "bargain hunting"......but I can't tell the difference between that & cherry picking and/or a dealer buying for 50% of FMV.

I think it pays to shop around and not sell to the first place you go to. And also --> Buyer beware.
