Sleep well at night and treat the misinformed fairly.
You will hope someone treats you the same if the tables are turned in a different situation. I used to know a dealer that thought stories of how he ripped people off were impressive...I never bought another thing from him.

I'm not a dealer. As a collector I say it's up to the collector to know what they have. If someone came up to the dealer with this card I as the potential dealer would ask if the collector had a price in mind. If so and it is below the fair market value whatever it is I would buy it. If the collector didn't have a price in mind I would give a price I thought was fair with room to make a profit. It isn't the dealers job to rip someone off. It also isn't their job to give free appraisals to prevent lazy people from being ripped off.

I agree with this rationale. Totally different if someone comes to the table and is just fishing for a price with no intention to sell. If you want to know what it is worth, get an appraisal. If you want to sell it, sell it, but either way the collector should get educated

A business has overhead, paying a fair price to a seller and keeping the offer low enough to pay overhead and maintain a profit margin is fair.
