Now that being said, I once walked into a consignment shop and purchased a very valuable collection at a fraction of its true value. I paid what they asked for it. I didn't do a darn thing wrong, but it sure felt like it. How do I know that? Cuz I couldn't wait to get out of the shop with the binder. Believe me, it was worth at least 25X more. After the initial giddiness wore off, I felt guilty as heck. I ultimately called the owner (an older retired gentlemen)and fessed up. He floored me with his answer---he told me "Son, that is the way the cookie crumbles. I didn't care much for them anymore, I went thru a lot of money in my gambling days. I am glad that you like them so much though!" And that was that.
Everyone has their reasons. Good luck with your purchase, love to see what ya got!
