P.T. Barnum (disputed, but still funny.)
They get away with it because they cater to the uninformed. They market themselves to "everyman" who wants a deal, but doesn't want to bother with the accumulation of knowledge necessary to know what they're buying. People who think they are students of the game, because they know the names, think they can pick up a Ruth or Gehrig signed ball for a couple of hundred bucks and they end up getting scammed. But because their interest is passing, many of these customers never even find out they were scammed.
Then the stuff hits the market a second time.
