============================================================
I see more reason than ever to believe that a few
dealers are putting items on exxx and having other dealers
or a dummy account buy them to "make a market". I see at
least one store posting items with what I feel is an
unrealistic "first bid" or "starting bid" in hope of doing
the same thing.
I have not been to a camera flea market for many years.
I was disgusted with those buying to ship to Japan, as
well as others selling to other dealers at prices at least
2/3 lower than they would offer me.
KEH made a fortune doing this sort of thing.
