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!
