Parasites in the Amiga market!!!

I hate to break it to you, but these people are everywhere.

Me and my sister used to scour fleamarkets to find used designer furniture for our homes (got some good bargains as well), because these things cost way too much in the secondhand stores.

After having been to quite a few of these stores and getting to know the owners, it seems that there is always one or two of them present at every fleamarket we go to. They rush in and buy every designer item for at least the double amount of what anyone else would pay for it (at a fleamarket, that is).
And then they sell it in their stores or online auctions for 5.000-10.000% of what they paid for it.

I hate that  :destroy:

. This is business. This is free enterprise.

Well yes, but we're talking second hand stuff here.
IMO these people are wannabe businessmen, who prey on people without (many) other options than to buy it from them.

And regarding my furniture thing: The items i'm talking about were originally made in my country (Denmark) so most of what's left of it (from the 40's, 50's and 60's) is of course here. But it's being snatched up by these people and being sold off to Japan and USA for incredible prices I (and many others) can't keep up with.
These designers are a part of our cultural heritage, and now all their (old) stuff is being exported so that some Japanese or American (no offence : ) executive can have trendy furniture.
It's just not right.

Anyways, rant over : )

Sorry for wandering off from the topic
