[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 530945, member: 2"] Thanks for all the replies, some interesting points from both sides. I agree it is a bit idealistic to expect collecting to be fair, and I also agree it can come across as a bit selfish to either feel you 'deserve' a piece more than someone else, or to only help others if there's something in it for you. But I do think there's some truth in the 'biting the hand that feeds you' comment, as mentioned in my first post I have been helped out many times before and I have definitely been on both the giving and receiving end of collecting 'karma'. If you're a collector that only takes without giving anything back, whether that be advice, research, or simply giving somebody the heads up when you see something they want, I'm sure it will come back to haunt you at some point.
