Jim & Seth,
Well said by both of you!!
If you think about it, there is no such thing as "gouging" for anything in life that is optional. Certainly not for collectible items. Whatever happened to "Let the buyer beware"? If you don't like the price, go elsewhere or do without. But don't blame the seller!!
As it applies to this hobby, I've been to swap meets and seen the same stuff appear year after year. The sellers obviously don't want to drop the price to what others are willing to pay. The prices will either go down or they will hold their inventory for a long time. Simple as that. And that's the way it should be in a free market society.
To dodogas, I would say to go buy that jug of milk from a store that sells it for $2.99. If there are enough competitors and they all sell it for $3.39, I'd say that's the true MARKET price.
Cheers!!
Paul
