- but even after they know, that price the expert tells them is usually at auction, which means an auctioneer is gonna take their cut if it does sell - moles Feb 25, 12:56

- the dealer can almost for sure sell it for more than you could eBay it for. -- nm - TFox Feb 25, 12:55 6
  - Yes, but is could you sell it for more than he's offering? - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:56 4
    - who knows. not necessarily. and the higher end the item, the harder it is to sell independently for max value. - TFox Feb 25, 12:58
    - chances are, if he tells you it is worth $5k, he won't offer you $500. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 12:58 2
      - He never offered $500. - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:59 1

  - yup. That's why they are dealers. A lifetime of contacts and collectors they can contact -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 12:55
