Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Leon- as I've said to you often, and recently, the objects people collect are wonderful. But the manner in which they are transacted can be rather disturbing.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I don't totally disagree with you....I think there are a million good places to buy and transact business in the hobby. I think this board's duty is to point out good and more importantly BAD places.....If we save one person from getting ripped off we have done good. I think we have saved far more than that...and hopefully will continue.....The more information the GOOD GUYS have the harder it is for the bad guys to do business.....regards

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I agree this board has been terrific spotting fakes and exposing unscrupulous dealers. It has saved people a lot of money, and that will keep collectors in the hobby. If someone gets burned a few times he usually leaves and never comes back.
