This, and the guys who said he watches auction hunters (and regardless of whether it is fake or not...it advertises big finds and big dollars) but doesn't go out and bid on units, are simply one little experience among millions. Let's say a million people watch the show; 1000 decide to give it a try (that's .10%..and not 10%); of those, 100 (2 per state...obviously a very basic example) people become scalpers out for the buck.... that's 2 more NON collecting people I don't need in my area. Collectors I can bargain and work with.....not scalpers!

Obviously this is all fear related...but I'm telling you I have witnessed it with the 3 auction shows that now exist...and we're only talking about 1 little facility in 1 little town.
