EVEN Dealers !
Seeing Bill post a thread made me want to chime in....
No being in the business for over 30 years and for 20 of them as a full timer and most of those years at Rotman Collectibles I have issue with this. A collector walks in off the street with a collection to sell. It is a fantastic collection and you are not 5 minutes into looking through it when "Other Dealers" get hawk eyes and are creating in their minds any one of a million ways they may be able to get this guy away from my table. They even at times will stand just feet away from me and the collector and yet 100's of feet away from their own tables. They are like piranhas. I am not saying all of them but there are some that will stoop to this level or I am sure worse.
