It blow's my mind a bit that he has as many sales as he does given his prices but the majority of sales are low value items (although someone paid $48,000 for an overpriced T206 set back in November!), that being said with 101,000 listings active he is bound to sell some stuff I guess.

On a fun note (for those eBay sellers) just today I got an email from a long winded ebayer that was more than a little condescending about how he thught my pricing on an Old Judge boxing card was wildly overpriced and that he just moved to the US from the UK and that we here in the States don't know how to price cards (ie we are way too high). I don't feel like my prices are out of whack but I can't imagine the type of messages Dean's gets from people that have nothing better to do with their time.

I wonder what the monthly fee is to simply have 101,000+ listings on ebay after taking into consideration the final value fees? As far as the listing fees alone, the cheapest you can get (I think) is .05 listings per item with an anchor store (you get like 2.500 free listings) but have to pay $200 for the right to get the .05 listings. Thus at a minimum it is roughly $5,000/month just in listing fees alone for his stuff.
