<p>[QUOTE="Erstwhile, post: 321430, member: 5913"]There are some dealers that can outdo anyone in trying to avoid taking a risk by purchasing something. Back in the 80's I would have a dealer come in my shop and carefully look over a number of items. He would measure, make notes, etc.; say he would think about them and leave. About a week later I would see everything he looked at offered for sale in his Antique Trader ad, with the prices tripled or more from mine![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
