Prices were high. Perhaps dealers are still on the high of a blowout National. Dealers have to know the price range of a given grade and card on Ebay. The America's Pastime table seemed to be making sales. He would come down on his price. Dealers have to move cards. As I mentioned in the post above, a dealer stated "I have $2K in expenses before making a sale." This dealer sold vintage, so $2K over three days, it would not be difficult to break even. It is interesting $2K man had two tables, a guy down from him had at least 5-10 tables. A $1 table, $5 table, $10 and I believe $15 with nothing but a hodgepodge of complete crap (IMHO) on every table. The inventory looked like the leftovers from a bad garage sale.
Are dealers in the game to get rich? If you read Tony Gordon's blog, he makes some buys more and just seems to be having a great time!
