Dave,

>From my limited experiencesss(TV, movies and books), dealers go by:

small-timers(me and you Dave)
connected(the list and others)
street corner(small website)
big-time(Ebay kings and huge volume boys on the net of course)
Vito-related(no comment)
gang(NWA field collectors)
buddy-buddy(hush-hush), etc.

So, if you sell the stuff...you are dealin the stuff.
