My other hobby was collecting railroad memorabilia until the prices got too far out of line. I used to go to several shows each year and I often saw this pricing mentality among the dealers. They would buy tables at the show and they would have the same, "rare" over-priced stuff on the tables year after year. Some of them came from far away and had a lot of stuff to cart in... but it never sold! I often wonder why they kept lugging it around from show to show if it didn't sell. What's the point? I haven't been to many phonograph shows to see if this phenomena occurs in this hobby.
