[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 137052, member: 1136"]A lot of pickers I know don't want to have to resell individually due to time or boredom. They like the find and haggle to buy, not sell. Dealers do a lot of work. I know I do. I have to move things, clean things, fix things, stage my booth, advertise for customers.. Dealers have more customer relations to deal with than pickers. Some people don't like that aspect. Selling online is not easy peasy either. You have to clean it, take pictures, take measurements, create item descriptions, figure shipping, pack and ship.. or meet up with possible weird people. Bringing it straight auction you might do a little clean up and staging, but then you sit back and let the company bring in the customers and sell it for you, then pick up your check and go back picking.[/QUOTE]
