Now, what's wrong with that?  Dealers buy things that are (in their
opinion) priced below market value and sell them for a higher price.
What difference does it make if they buy them from an individual versus
a fellow dealer?  The principle remains the same.

When I am in shows I try and spot people selling stuff to dealers.  I am
looking for 3-d items, of course.  Once I saw someone trying to sell his
Kodak stereo camera with case and instructions for $100.  Best offer he got
was $50.  I bought it for $75.  (Later I sold it for over $100...)
