I'm not sure how well that strategy is working.  Sure he occasionally sells
a few items, but the majority of them don't seem to sell.   On the buying
side he's paying very high prices for the items he's trying to flip.  I bet
overall he's barely breaking even.  It's good to see that noone was foolish
enough to give him $900 for that engraved M-1, and it ended at a mere $127!
He just won that body the previous week for $405 and I doubt he'll get his
money back on that deal.  I guess he overlooked the engraving which wasn't
disclosed in the description :-)
