NOT IN USA!! Or Canada either.

From comments from many senior collectors, it seems there will be a lot of
collections getting burned by owners, to avoid getting burned by slimy
dealers.

And do not mention the crooked auctions, which seem to be worse than the
dealers!

===========================
Sounds like you pick the wrong dealers and auctions.

Just what percent of cat should a dealer offer?
Why?

Most items in a collection will sit in the dealers stock for 20 years.
Most of us have an inflated idea of what our collections are worth.
Especially collections with 99% of the items with a cat of under $1.

Look at eBay....many collections go for big bucks if they have any better
items.
Ones with only cheap stamps go cheap.
