Whoever he is he is not afraid to spend money. Funny thing is he will even buy R9's with no box that have had a tough life.
MAYBE, and opinions are like , well you know what, he is volume buying to refinish and resell them. They sure are not going to get any cheaper. Heck 5-6 months ago I bought a LNIB two tome with papers and two mags for $900 on G-broker. They are now $1300-$1500 in the same condition. Wish my broker did that well with my investments.
