<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9545386, member: 10944"]That type of dealer is someone I envy a bit. Maybe they collect one thing or something but they more just fell into the trade for money rather than love of the stuff. They don’t take it home with them often. It’s seems like about 70% of the people love the stuff and 30% just somehow found opportunity in it and despise the stuff in a way almost. Like they would gladly make the money any way else but this was just the road life took them down. I was going through an estate recently with a lady who does sales here and there. She had a real disdain for the stuff I was thinking was beautiful. She was miserable digging through it all while I was in heaven. To her if was just a paycheck. Not saying thats the deal with your guy but he sounds more like the stuff is inconsequential and it’s just a means to an end. Move what he’s got to make room for what’s coming in, rinse and repeat. Rather than being precious about each object and waiting for that one buyer to come around who will pay the right price. Different strokes.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit: to fix errant word or two, sloppy typer![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
