This is the same guy that sold a master set to sonarghost for $2288

He just sold another one for $3200

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=73570&item=6106354932&rd=1

It had a lot of nice variants, and I had seen him purchase some of these for some pretty high prices, for instance he paid $515 for the permission slip

How can he be making money buying them for high prices and putting "buy it nows" on the sets for decent prices?  Am I just losing my mind?  I didn't mind selling my lot because it was a hot box pull and was totally unexpected, but he has put some money into these lots.  Any thoughts?  Is this person just trying to make people happy with great prices on lots?  Its driving me crazy!!!

He's paid some high prices.

Well I've actually sold him several lotr fotr cards in the past.. He overpaid shipping about $15.00 and I told him I would just refund his money. He told me to just keep the change and don't worry about it!

Some people just have money and this guy just seems to be one of them...You would be suprised at some of the outrageous prices I'VE paid for cards and I'm sure I don't have as much money as this guy!!

Yeah Sonarghost but you are mostly keeping your cards right?

Why buy high and sell at middling to low prices?

Not that I am complaining of course  - but it seems strange to set low buy it nows.  

It would make more sense if he was keeping all the variants and selling sets of plain cards but it doesn't seem to be working that way
