But that's just it - not everyone knows how to do that research, knows where the information is. You can find information about zine prices over the past few years on the various Yahoo lists I guess - but you need to know that they're there in the first place. And some people will always be more gullible than others - it doesn't mean I have any respect for the people who try to take advantage of that fact... Those dealers know that they're ripping off a)people who don't know any better, and b)the original writers, artists and publishers of those zines, who were not legally allowed to make any money from what they did, and were doing it for the love of their fandoms...
