even at $2000 you'd still make money on resale, although i'd rather not do it.

At, $2000 you'd have to sell the pairs for ~$135 on average just to break even if selling through ebay. Some of those pairs look very worn. If you made anything at all, it would be close to $100 probably... which is terrible ROI on something you want to flip. Also, the seller would have us believe he paid an average of $440 per pair by his description, what a joke.

CPs sell for a lot on ebay - you'd be surprised. many of those pairs would sell for over $200.

I'm just not seeing it. Some of the boots look like they could do well, rando sneakers not so much. Condition is also key, and generally people sell in a lot to hide a few lemons. If the seller thought he could make an extra $50 per pair breaking them up, I can pretty much guarantee he would have done so. Doesn't matter because I won't be partaking in any bidding war, but definitely wouldn't be buying with intent of making money. At best you sell most pairs and get a few cheap/free.

Doing one auction is also a lot easier than 17 seperate ones.

RL Cashmere is nice, my Aunt's house has like 10 of these throws and they are so comfy. Can't say anything about quality though as I'm a noob on fine fabrics

Been wanting to try out Faribault mills as well, Need Supply had a classic American flag one but this is nice as well
