That's true for just about any old collectible, most of the collectibles that are priced reasonably or lower locally sell in a flash when they do come up which is pretty rare these days. Then we have the resellers, who are working hard at snapping up the remaining deals, trying to sell these items locally at full blown ePay prices.
Right on! One of my pet peeves is that sellers at flea markets and collector shows have time before the show opens to buy from each other. Any bargain there might have been for a plain ol' shopper like me has, in all likelihood, been snapped up by the time the show opens and put out for sale by another seller at a higher price. And this doesn't include sellers (and buyers!) who go home and put whatever bargains they've found on eBay at even higher prices. "Flipping" is alive and well... and not just in real estate!
