Seriously though, buying 4547s for $38 from Emmanuel is like taking candy
from a baby.  I hate to see a good trader like Emmanuel literally screw
himself out of $1000s.  I would feel funny being the "lucky" buyer.

Unless he is somehow getting them from TLC directly, and has some sort of
agreement that he cannot mark them up more than a certain percentage?

The 4547, for example, sold for $37.50 through S@H.  You're saying that he
might be in some way restricted to marking it up only 50 cents?!  Dubious at
best.

Or maybe it's a slight mixup, and they're really selling for $380!

Ah, deja vu all over again;-)
