Junk men in Bob's family, hucksters for my family.

lots of opinions , and I agree with what some said that Im not going to sell something for less than its worth so THEY can make a profit on it , but I have done exactly that all my life for extra money but I dont do it in that way its like the stuff finds me ? I buy stuff on ebay from people that dont know what they have then put it back on there and sell it again , its kinda fun ,,, ebay is my favorite horse trading site LOL ,, anyway this is all great disscusion ,,,,

Around here the terms used were/are dealers and collectors.

If I am talking with someone about possibly buying something, I have no problem telling them I am a collector, cause that's what I do.

If I want something bad enough we use the term "stepping up to the plate"

I find being honest with people about their stuff works best. Even if I don't want it at least I can tell them what they have. People appreciate it and that can lead to other stuff.

Just treat people as you would want to be treated.

Amen to that !

We need more of that around here and around the world.
