I don't disagree with you as I have walked away many time from deals. The problem is that even if we walk away, there always seems to be someone in line behind us willing to do the deal. Again, the STUFF is what matters to the majority. Lots of rich guys out there want a Jeter signed jersey on their office wall. They have no idea what a Jeter sig looks like. Magically a piece of paper appears with a hologram and fancy printing that says it's real and up on the wall it goes.
