ive always been under the assumption that the definition of a collector is one that doesnt sell. So therefore, all these hobbyists are dealers, which means they are in it for the MONEY. They are making their living off the collectors. I never attended shows, it made me sick to see the money changing hands from "collectors" lol. Remember the words fun?, hobby?

While there are dealers who are in it for the money only(i.e. Alen Rosen in cards), most collectors who sell do so to fund the collecting.  There is nothing inherently wrong with making a buck on your hobby or making money to support your hobby.  How else would you every buy anything?  I have found these collecting forums on network 54 to be a great place to buy, sell and trade and many times for under market value becaues most of the people here are true collectors.
