Well, You’re free to continue doing what you do — but you can’t do sufficient due diligence on a first timer. You just can’t. And buyers like you with thinking like this are simply chum in the water that make this a much more dangerous sport for everyone.

That alone is why I cannot buy from a new seller, no matter how tempting, unless I can meet him/her and we can go to an AD for an actual expert (and I don’t mean the sales staff) to have a deeper look.

I have been fortunate with ADs, but if I had to use a non-AD seller it would HAVE to be one of the more established trusted sellers.

Why?

Because they have too much to lose over a measly $20,000.

This unfortunately means some genuine first-time sellers may lose potential business, but there’s unfortunately too much risk buying from them. In the 80s when crap looked like crap that would be ok, but not in 2021.

This is correct.

Your 100% correct is now multiplied by two.
