Ed_Haynes Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 He eventually sells his things, at his prices. Mainly back to the "Old Country", I guess. ECON 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 What's Igor smoking? He has lost his mind!!! I used to buy from him... DocAs did I, 15 years ago!! I cannot believe where he has been going with his prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I believe Ed hit the nail on the head. Some big dollar collectors from Russia are grabbing these driving up the prices. Many dealers don't care about the Little Guy anymore. They know even at these ridiculous prices the items will sell. $$$$$$$That's all they think about. I guess that's what sets Dealers apart from "Collectors" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
