Well, I should have been clearer that I have no issues with people who 
actually are radio dealers as a profession or at any serious level. You
guys 
at Waves clearly are above board and give a value added to the customer in

what you resell. One way or another you've got your name on the line, as
it 
were. Value can be added simply by KNOWING what the item is and then 
marketing it- this knowledge is indeed a valuable thing and not to be
given 
away.

I'm not talking about people who so much as dust off the item well, and
may 
even research it in order to market it better. I'm talking about the guys 
who flock around trucks and trunks as they unload at the meet to snap up 
everything that's way underpriced and barely look at it before setting it
on 
their table and ripping off any tag. It appears anyway that all the item 
(and all other items they brought) is to them is a source of profit. I've 
even SEEN the item bought of a truck and then when I ask about it later
the 
"flipper" tells me how he's had it for years and bought it at a country 
auction. Yeah, that's marketing- but the shyster kind. There's no name but

MUD behind those words.

I'm a pool guy by trade, and I love water and summer. They say never trust
a 
skinny chef, I never trust radio sellers who listen only to satellites and

know nothing about vacuum tubes :).
