I'm guessing he takes the cream for ebay and sells the ones he didn't care to list. Just stick to your guns and don't buy shit you know didn't sell. Best to be at the deceased estates when they open and you can get those awesome books for a song. The family is usually open to someone offering for the lot so they can clear the home to get it sold quickly. Start low and work your way up to your limit you know works profitably.
