So again, that's his free market right, to buy from a willing seller at what
he perceives to be a good price and try to sell at a higher price. 
He takes the entire risk of misjudging and taking a loss. Just because he
may set high BIN prices doesn't mean that anyone is forced to pay them.
There is lots of Oly gear in the sea.

And then, neither of these items is the best available, nor is buying items
in the box the most cost effective way to get your gear.

- Collectors have bid up the price of very clean to new items with original
box, packing, etc. well above the cost of similar items without box. If you
are buying to use, the box auctions aren't for you. i actually think he did
get a good price on these items with boxes, etc. 
Sold separately, I'll bet they go for over $100 total.

Moose has some very good points about collectors however this is not a
collector we are talking about. Boxed but used items are purchased and then
turned around represented as new. I personally have sold him clean boxed
items only to see them for sale represented as new next week. Can it really
be possible for this guy to find the volume of NIB silvernoses and all of
the other things offered? Pricing is one thing but claiming stuff as new
when it isn't is just wrong.

Just my 0.02.
