Excuse my butt-in but I just can’t help myself.

First, I and my wife (the real brains in the family) are antique dealers, we sell on E-bay as well as a website and at shows.

The old saying “buy low and sell high” is a little crude and in real life seldom happens. But if indeed a person buys at “wholesale” for “cheap” and sells high for a profit that’s just business. Let’s not forget the final retailers overhead, assuming he has a store front. Perhaps the person who sold “wholesale” should reconsider his business practices. He could do E-bay if he wished.

Now, if the “high seller” was GIVEN the item by the maker and then turns around and sells it, then that person, the seller, is an A$$.

Just my two cents worth.
