you'd be surprised how many sellers do that even at toy shows, I get that all the time, especially that look they give you like if you just tried to rip them off, they actually believe their **** is priceless"Time to nut up or shut up" -Tallahassee

This is so strangely common in antique worlds.
When I was a kid my mother would toss me in a van and tour the country on summers from the south here up to Brimfield, Ma for the antique show.
Sometimes it's about making that one crazy sale, sure, but a lot of times the seller is just crazy.
As an extreme example: There was actually a shop for years down here called David A's Museum. It was cram-packed full of stuff - no order whatsoever. It was mostly old, some of it interesting, all insanely priced. I mean, you could ask "how much?" on three dollars worth of depression era glass or ten dollars worth of cylinder records and get an answer like "four hundred," or "two thousand" respectively - all in a day's work.
The guy was schizophrenic I think, and never sold anything... maybe his disability went into shop rent... I don't know. He would boast that he named his shop Museum because people asked if that's what he was running (he had disdain for anyone that didn't understand how a snoopy phone was worth ten grand, easy).Comment
