This happens all the time in the world of antiques and collectibles. If we can buy it right, we take the chance it might be worth nothing, all the while hoping it will be worth something more than we paid for it. This time, Will made out.. but the next time he may not. It all comes out in the wash... Personally, I am happy his hunch paid off. Congrats Will! From C.A.B.

Whether CEO or bud on the street, it is incumbent upon you to do your homework, the initial comments that threw out the comment of "greed" sounds to me more like sour grapes. Mr Seippel has spent years as an avid buyer and educator, giving his knowledge freely to dealers and collectors alike. Why else would he create a site, second only to none, that gives people the opportunity to become better acquainted with what has possibly been starring them in the face for years. As a dealer, collector, broker, educator, I have gone out of my way to instruct people in how to see what it is that they are looking at. Mr Seipple is no exception. Believe me, at the end of the show, the dealer would rather go home with a few less dollars than no dollars at all. And, frankly, if you were actively a part of the buying public you would know this.
