Bye to a great store,sad but normal

Found a wonderful new collective bout a month ago-good prices.No absolute thousand-buck screamers for a twenty dollar bill, but lots of promise.
You know the kind of place-if yer diligent,somethin' big will land in your lap-just be persistent,right?
Ah well,not really surprised, but just found out a few days ago-Employees get 1st pick !
Then tonight a Dealer friend confirmed it-yep,they bring all their finds into my Mall (good stuff).
PS-Will say, that for run o' the mill vintage,they're quite reasonable,BUT-as a spoiled retired geezer,I aint' goin' back to the days of twenty-buck Ebay hustles !
PSS-The way of the modern collecting world.Makes me damn near afraid to sell any of my better stuff.
