Todd mentioned that its not required to educate sellers.  I agree.

Many years ago I spotted a Knight Ocean Hopper will all the coils, for $12 on a hamfest table.  I stupidly offered $10.  As I did this, the seller next door tells the owner he's selling it too cheap and that an 'Hopper like that with all the coils is worth a lot more.  I ended paying $20 which isn't a big deal but I wish the ham seller next door would have kept his frikkin big mouth shut, and I wish I would have just picked it up and paid the $12 quietly :)) 

Over the years of hamfesting I've since bought things from the big mouth and he's a nice guy wheeler dealer.  Now that I know his general wheeler dealer style, if I were selling next to him, I can easily see him leaning over and telling me that I'm selling something too cheap :))))
