I don't quite get the objections being raised to Rod making this deal. No one complains when Bruce or Heritage announce that they just sold a poster for 3 or 4 times what it goes for on eBay. In fact they make such sales fairly regularly. Rod obviously had a customer with a request for lots of items with a *very* specific theme: boxing. The fact that Rod spent many years gathering up all those "cheap" boxing-related items so he happened to have them on hand and ready to deliver when the request came along deserves compensation beyond what any individual cards in the bunch might or might have gone for on eBay. After all, Rod was not wholesaling these items to another dealer -- he was selling them to someone/some organization who wanted a whole bunch of boxing items and wanted them now. They didn't want to spend years accumulating them a few at a time.

So Rod had the inventory to fill the bill and the customer thought his average price of $20 per item was right for them.

What's the beef?

Don't Mexican cards usually bring in the $5-10 each range on eBay?
So for someone buying a huge bulk lot you charge 2-4x average sale price?
This will certainly save me from asking about anything I may have been interested in.

    This does not seem to be an inquiry from a prospective buyer, so:

    âEURoeIf you have to ask the price, then you probably
    canâEUR^(TM)t afford it.âEUR? (J. P. Morgan)

    However, for the morbidly curious:  we did fill an order for 1000
    cards with BOXING titles/themes/images for $20,000.

    All others:  Email me with your selections, and I will respond
    with prices.

        In keeping with the theme here... can you give us a ballpark
        price range for the cards? These sets must all score in a
        fairy similar pricing field.

        thanks.
