[QUOTE="FullAuto, post: 2550063, member: 5110"] No. It may let the next person bidding on a rare item they've been searching for that it may not actually be for sale. Dealers earn their reputations for a reason. In the NFA market, Rueben is one of the most expensive dealers in the country and gets a premium on everything he sells. Why? Because he only sells nice, quality stuff and you get the item. You pay for the reputation. He's earned that reputation over decades. On the other hand, Frank doesn't own damn near anything. His stuff is almost all consignment. You may get it eventually. You may never get it because of the exact same reason you didn't get this gun. It happens all the time to his customers. He's the risky side of the market. [/QUOTE]
