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
