I am sure sometimes he invests in items that take over a year to sell or not selling all. I would say he offers a legitimate service actually his blue relay computer digital trainer for is a fair price $600. If a museum or a props master for a movie production had to have something quick for a display or production they consider it nice to know there is a stock of items out there. Many times props folks have to put a collection of props together fast and don't have time or patience to play it like a hobbyist. In the real world... time is more valuable than money.

Many of these were on ebay or wherever, shipped to Long Island and put back on ebay for 50%+ more than "wholesale" (orig. seller's price). I have sold items to this guy via ebay inadvertantly and he has relisted mynitems at a much higher price. It might take 6 months to sell at the higher price but eventually they sell. I wanted to sell quickly and was not willing to wait so my price was competitive. His profit comes from patience and apparently cheap storage. He probably re-uses the original shipping box which is smart! Personally I think people who scoff at this seller are missing the point ... we are mostly a group of educated frugal vc hobbyists and not his target market. But if you must have it, he's got it!
