In years of dealing with Todd, he always paid the highest prices of any of my customers. Was always a funny and entertaining guy as well. In many years though, I think I only bought one piece from him due to pricing, but I enjoyed many a good Christmas season due to him buying my stuff. Haven't heard from him in several years though. I think he must have gotten busy with other ventures as I used to hear from him quite frequently

Mike,
If you write to them now to offer anything you might want to sell they automatically decline it with a canned response. I have tried several times to offer them items.
Their feedback on ebay is hidden so you cannot figure out what they do sell.
It seems to me their goal is to sell to the Las Vegas high rollers who just made a big casino score and have no idea what an item may be worth.
The one big problem they do create is that uneducated sellers who are checking the value of their items see their item first if they are checking on ebay.
Then something that is worth $1000, well they see it for sale for $5000 and do not look any further. Then when they offer it for sale, they tell you it is worth $5000. This has happened to me on several occasions.
A few years ago he bought a couple of items from a good friend of mine on ebay. One of which I had sold to my friend for $20 or so. My friend sold it for $40 or so and Todd priced it at around $7-800.
