I don't know what the purpose of listing cards like that is, but it sure seems weird. Maybe he sells some cards, but I simply cannot believe that someone is running a profitable business with 90% or more of their inventory sitting on the shelf for months and years.
He's one among many I could list of similar fashion.
I can't imagine that this is these folks primary source of income.
It seems to me that many use ebay as a way to showcase their collection and if smeone comes along that is willing to pay the excess freight charge then they will sell a card or two.
I will hand it to him, he does have a stellar inventory.
