"The dealer in me" would obviously sell just the popular stuff. You don't get rich selling weird stuff. Though, as it turns out, I don't sell whacky stuff either, just stuff a little off the beaten path.
This conversation has drifted a bit. What would actually qualify as whacky these days? Some of the odd looking horns? Or just anythng without a large following? If the latter, then I'll go back to what I just said. Dealers who want to make money don't sell stuff without a large following, without lots of reviews that make people feel confident, etc. Those who sell unusual stuff do it out of love. Or idiocy. Or, of course, a bit of both.
