Some don't help themselves though by not staying up to date on the latest pricing tools. My current LCS owner has no idea what VCP is; he still looks things up in the online version of Beckett along with sometimes checking ebay prices. I'm like Oh kaaaay.... Vintage is not his main business by a long shot, but he has dealt in enough of it to where I wouldn't want to be guesstimating what certain things were really worth. With his Mantles at least, he seems to follow the standard card shop practice of horribly overpricing them for the masses, but he would come down / be willing to make deals with collectors like me who are more in tune to their real value if I was interested in something.
