Ryan, We've done business in the past and I know your a straight up guy.
The last thing anyone wants to do in this hobby is go to a militaria dealer and say; 'Wow, I never thought this would happen but I'm going through a divorse and need some help as I need cash- now Mr. Dealer we've been friends all these years and I bought... .. ...'
Your going to get what's coming to ya. Not with all dealers but especially more so with some than others. Yep...they love to 'rape'...give them a chance, an opening, especially when your down, - OH WOW! Best time to nail you. And there's nothing you can say but what you just did.
They will say 'Hey!, I didn't hold a gun to your head! You took my offer.
YOU went for it ! '
Just SOP...(standard operating procedures)
Look don't feel bad. Over a year ago one of these dealers didn't want to give an owner $10,000 for a legit woodwork Feldherrnhalle dagger...and this guy was not going through a divorse.
