Dealer mad for good reason?

That's what anyone in the secondhand business tries to do regardless of what the product is.... Buy as low as you can and sell high! And EVERYONE tries to get a deal, so when I hear sellers and dealers say they're offended if the receive an offer under retail, I find it ridiculous and hypocritical.
.....buck up! We're all big boys here, let's try to remember this should be a fun hobby, and not everything is business.

Have a great day and enjoy collecting! ��

Well I'll probably sound like an ass for saying this, but not EVERYONE is trying to get a deal.

Some collectors realize that they are going to have to pay to get the cards they want for their collection.
