I don't see how an Atari 800 is going to bring $300 when they sell
routinely on ebay for $30. (or whatever, insert actual price here.)
He knows this because he'll *buy* the item from ebay for $30 and then
turn it around and list it at $300.
It looks like the majority of his stuff expires unsold and the stuff
that is selling is best offer below his ask.
He must have really cheap storage space, a ready supply of old boxes
and lots of free time on his hands for this model to work effectivley.
