Hopefully I can work out a deal to get some BrickBuiltTrain CDs/instruction
books.

ANYTHING else you there??

I have a BIG problem with this. You're taking someone else's work and trying to
profit from it. I would have offered instructions, but I don't think it's cool
that you take someone else's hard work and earn money off of it.

Anne,

Not sure if you're aware of this, but all of the instruction CDs mentioned above
are/were for sale by their respective owners.  So I assume Michael purchased
those CDs before offering them for sale in his own store.  Since he's just
reselling something he already paid for, and doesn't claim it as his own work, I
guess it's somewhat acceptable.

If however he obtained those CDs free of charge THEN resold them, then I'd have
a big problem with it too.
