I have seen other ebay sellers use (successfully for them) this type of business model. The reason it works for them is because they are perfectly happy selling 2 cards a day (like yepbg). A local long-time collector I have become friends with over the years operated very much in this same manner....he sold cards at a premium for many years on ebay at a very slow but steady pace. He did so because he was retired and wanted to sell duplicates from his massive collection. Money was not really an issue as he had retired from a successful business career, so offering his cards at a lower price and turning his inventory quickly was not a goal.
