Hungry Hunters: The old stuff resale angle mostly works like this:Someone employing himself as a dealer looks for people who have stuff they want to get rid of for money.If the people haven't found someone who really wants what they've got,the dealer gives them some money to get it off their hands .Now the dealer looks for people who have money and really want the stuff,and has to guage just how much they want it(will pay for it). Even at the very swap meet,dealers earlybird in order to liquidate the desperate or uninformed,and then display the chosen stuff to the regular bike hungry guy who is not motivated enough to go through all the monkey motion that a dealer does to glean that stuff. At least everything's in one place at a swap meet.
