Re: Carol Christian Poell
Mesh knows what I'm getting at. You can have passionate SA's but if the guy running the scene doesn't like keeping stuff around for seasons at a time... it's going on sale. Some stores just have a business mindset and not an artistic one (rather... they probably have both but it gets skewed to the former rather than the latter).
Resale on ebay, SZ, yahoo etc I think falls under a different category altogether as it is not a retail environment. You will note though that certain sought after/rare pieces will still command high dollar. CCP overlocks on the secondary market (if the seller is patient) can bring in near-full retail on the regular. Rarer pieces can go for ever more than original pricing as well.
