I'm not saying that a 100% markup is necessarily out of line... although I don't know of any other businesses that can get it these days. It's just that there is a big difference between putting a 100% or 200% markup on a poster a seller got for $20... or even $2,000... and putting a 100% to 20

Maybe... maybe not. It is incredibly easy to "buy something from yourself" on Ebay if you want to do that to try to set a retail price to use in later (possibly private) negotiations -- you only pay a couple of percent to Ebay if you do that, not like the 19% it would cost you at Heritage. Or
