Actually, Larry would be circumventing their fee structure, and violating the
spirit of the rule.
See, if he sells the catalogue, people can buy the catalogue and then buy
directly from TLG. This cuts eBay directly out of the loop- they don't get
their cut of the much larger sale (that of the actual set/s).
However, I don't think there's anything they could say about it if you just
listed an item and how you went about getting it- and therefore ended up wtih
no bids by the close of the auction.
