Gee Ves, that's a toughie. I know some dealers who will trust each other's judgement or honour each other's opinion sometimes will talk about pricing, particularly if it's in an area they are not conversant with. I certainly know professional sellers that I can talk to and who talk to me about such matters, and have done for years. Among the old school pro sellers/dealers, knowledge about material is seen generally as knowledge and it's a shared thing, because so little of the area in which we work is actually written down.
I've had my fair share of Martian Brain Suckers over the years with their, "Gee, will you be my friend... and btw, what's this daybill worth, and is this one hard to find?" Etc etc. Having run their course with me (or one of the other long time sellers) they usually end up starting their auctions at 99 cents for stuff they don't know about (saving BIG on their eBay bill... ) and letting the market and their friends decide the outcome, subsidise shipping costs to make a sale, run out of stock and drift into something else having made a few bucks out of their sales. Lots of them don't even know anything about the movies they are selling the paper for. So it's a LITTLE BRITAIN answer I'm giving there, "yes, no, yes, yes, no, I mean,. yes, no..." No help at all, really, was it?
