Reply to "What is your take on the used train market?"

I don't think a lot of buyers take in to account the sellers expenses plus they usually do have to pay something for the item so what you pay isn't pure profit.  One reason if someone is liquidating a family collection it can go cheaper-sometimes. There could be regional differences too. There is an antique dealer who is a wholesaler and collects stuff around here and takes it down south to sell. He was telling a dealer and I that twin beds are a dog around here but  he  can sell them in Mississippi. Used cars and collectible cars are the same way.
