Whatever the reason it still doesn't make me a dealer unless I make the bulk of my living from it or choose to register as one. You can still make a small income selling second hand gear without requiring a second hand dealers lisence.
I hate to think what I have lost over the years through all of the reasons stated above but with that in mind I have never had someone who bought something from me offer more because it was too cheap.

I don't mean you specifically, Doug. I don't think anyone does. I don't see you in there all that often anyway, and not with very expensive stuff for the most part. I'm talking about people who regularly sell things like expensive scopes and such. That seem to appear every few weeks to months with near brand new stuff to sell on. It's great that they do, we're the ones benefiting from it. But you have to wonder about why they would do such a thing...what are their motivations.
