David and Jim, I understand where you are both coming from, and I can see value in what both you guys are saying. I would have to argue though Jim, how often can you educate yourself before you see an item you are not sure about? Going to a flea market or garage sale may only be a one day deal and it is impossible to foresee what you may encounter. One may not have time or access to research an item. Researching is possible for auctions when you preview it before the end.
I guess also the excitement of possibly finding something cool may consume one to want to purchase it before investigating.
