Pros posing as hobbyists?


I have frequently noted that a seller will often use a normal reason for selling. The typical ones are Downsizing, New baby, Project never materialized.
I check to see what else they have for sale and it can be a very long list. It looks like a semi pro's used components inventory for sale.
It is no crime to sell here as a hobby just making a business on the side as it were. Why give us the silly string of excuses. I like people being very upfront it gives me a sense that the seller has integrity.
A new category without added fees perhaps would make it easy for everyone. What do you think?

Dealers have overhead that private sellers do not bear. Like the Car Guys say, your mechanic has many boat payments to make. I'll happily support a competent dealer if the deal is right.

I want to know where the seller is coming from and bear no shame in asking. I especially want to know what gear it was used with, for system purposes.
