The only time I as a dealer post a want is if I have an immediate customer. I expect to pay a fair price and will than make a small (10% or less) mark up. I thus make my client happy and make a small profit. If on the other hand I am buying merchandise I NEED to make a larger markup as I am tying up my money and still have my over head. jim

Michael I agree with you. I put a want list for Hitchcock half sheets and inserts. I got 4 responses and I sent emails to each person. Only Kirby responded with a item and a price. The others did not bother. When I see an obvious collector's want list and I have something they may want, I send them an email with what I feel is a reasonable price taking into consideration that I do not have the hassle or expense of an ebay sale. However, when I see an obvious dealer asking for particular poster, I always have the same reaction. Why sell to a dealer so that they can make the big bucks? Am I alone in this feeling?
