Wes, I too share your sentiments in this particular respect. For that same reason I have never been able to see what Herr Shattuck has for sale.
I believe this practice among some elderly dealers originated in years past with the offering of "lists" if you,(the customer) would cover the price of postage and printing. This was common before the advent of the internet. It seems it has carried over among those people who find a profit in it.
I have a Friend who was giving away printed sheets at gun shows, some information or other, I forget exactly what and no one would take one. He then priced them for a quarter and sold enough to cover his table rent. Human nature is a strange animal. Jerry Burney
