I've read his descriptions and they seem incredibly inflated IMHO. What's
especially troublesome is the "restocking fee" if you choose to return it.
I get the sense that he wants someone to make a ridiculously high offer,
realize their mistake, and be forced to pay him. Also, I have a hard time
believing that he could spend $9000 on Lego in one year, and be reduced to
poverty the next. I buy insane amounts of toys (last month I bought 36
cases of Star Wars action figures), but I'm not stupid enough to spend so
much that I'd have to sell everything if there was a change in my financial
condition or job status. The first thing to go is my SLK. Every month I
make a payment I think that I could have gotten 10 King Leo's Castle and I
weep! :(
I'm intimately familiar with Sonya's collection, which BTW, tops 6,000
minifigs (twice his estimate of 3,000 minifigs) and I estimate her
collection to be in the $30-$40K range and that's being generous.
