The other day I was reading an article how some collectible dealers price their items so Absurdly high, that they obviously are waiting for the new or inexperienced collector or gift buyer to come along. The company History Direct out of Las Vegas (of course, where else could you get away with this) seems to be the King of this practice on eBay. Everytime I see some ridiculously priced autograph on eBay I don't even have to look and see WHO the seller is anymore, it is always History Direct. Take a look at a 5x7" Bert Lahr (8x10" consistently sell for $200-300, so a 5x7 probably about $100-150). But, History Direct?
....$2500! ......And ALL their autographs are priced like this. DO these guys have no conscience? Take a look .
