Yes, it very likely does work. Dealers like this, and now they are pretty much the standard and no longer the exception on eBay, thrive on the uneducated, undisciplined, and impulsive consumers plus the "money-is-not-an-issue" types to make this business model work.

Been watching his high prices for years. Offered 1/2 price on a $ 600 item and was turned down. Won in another auction for under $ 200. These dealers make it hard for collectors when the prices are so off track.

Yepbg sold 2 cards in the past 15 days that were listed (barely) over $1000: just 2 of his 1000 most expensively listed cards. Unless he's selling drugs on the side, I'm not sure this is a great business model.

He likely sold only two cards over the last 15 days because he had many fewer cards listed due to ebay not having any current free listing offers available to him during that time frame. However, he has sold 114 items over the last 60 days, or approximately 2 per day. If this is what he wants to do with his time, then I guess this model does work for him(or he would lower his "list" prices to stimulate more than two sales a day). The total "asking price" on those 114 listings sold was $17065, so hypothetically if he accepted all of his offers at 2/3 rds of the asking price, over two months, that is over $11k in income. Maybe he is comfortable with that amount of income every two months.

Yep
If he ever reads this thread he will probably get a chuckle about the ongoing consternation he is causing over here

Yeah a chuckle all the way to the bank. He obviously is doing things the way he chooses for his own reasons, perhaps he does not need cash flow.

It must have been good month and a half of sales for him as he sold 112 cards in the 45 day period prior to the most recent 15 day period

You're either him or you're insane. Or both. He may have sold 112 cards but he sells 1 out of every 1000 of his most expensive cards during any 15 day period. And I'm going down to $450 cards. Which means the bulk of the cards he's selling are for a couple hundred bucks. He can obviously do what he wants but I can also point out that he's an idiot.
