I have known Matt and the shop for close to twenty years. I have done dozens of deals with him over the years, both buying and selling, and consider him to be good guy, an honest person in a hobby/business with a lot of thieves, and a friend. Sure his prices are occasionally high (i.e. retail), but I have also gotten very good deals from him too. And I don't know a full-time dealer who doesn't shoot for the higher price on the right items now and then. It must be getting tougher for dealers these days. They used to be able to get material at 30-60% of book. Now with ebay and big auction houses for higher end items, private sellers want 80-90% of retail routinely. That lowers the profit tremendously. Just adding my .02.
JimB P.S. He is quite knowledgeable and unlike your average brick and mortar store, he has a lot vintage (pre-WWII) material.
