Especially if it cost 90k and then you take out Ebay fees and all. Joke all you want, the guy then has a business to run with actual overhead, and payroll, and taxes and consultant fees. Those guys he calls aren't his friends doing him a favor, and even if they are...they are most likely expecting consulting fees. Nothing is free in this world. Bottom line is, if someone that brings him something felt like they could do better on their own, they would.

I gotta wonder what the fees are for $110k.

The maximum eBay fee is $100 - so as long as they didnt pay via PayPal I think they did OK
"9.0% of the item's total cost to buyer with a maximum charge of $100.00."
