Thats fair enough nobody is disputing that, businesses have to make a profit, im not saying thatGD,obergrenadier wrote: Peiper,the dealers that are "ripping you off" are a BUSINESS,they can't afford to buy your stuff or anyone else's at full value,it would put them OUT of business.Regardless of what you paid for the items,it would still be considered "used" by their standards (this is especially true of specialty items and uniforms)and to stay in business they have to buy low sell high(I grant you that sometimes the prices are retardedly high or ridiculous)not to mention that reenacting gear in general is a very small market and as a result the profit margin is even tighter.Bluntly put, if you don't like it don't sell or for that matter buy....
dealers pay the full price for things but at least be a bit more fairer
For instance as an example you sell something for say £200 which is the highest a dealer will give you
for an item then they sell it for £700, that is just plain greed and there's no need for it in my opinion
and they are not playing the game, basically they are taking the piss (iam referring to genuine items
here not repros)
As for things that have been found (battle relics) i too have given away things, but items i have paid
for i expect something back for them which the money would be put towards other items, anyway
this is my point of view, you either agree or not the same as i do with opinions then you move on....
