I remember you mentioning this is a previous thread a few weeks ago or something.... but personally, I don't think it's something that will work.
I use Escaflowne for an example. Glancing at eBay right now, I see over 50 sets, with around half or so at a Buy It Now of $20 - $22. Shipping is generally $7-8. In other words, it already rivals your price. I'm not saying you are expensive, I've ordered from IA before and I was very happy, and the prices ARE great... But in order to make a worthwile profit, minus the $1 to $2 listing fee, they'd have to sell it at a high price that no one would really go for. So just to make $5, they'd have to sell for a total of $24... not counting listing fees. In order to make a good amount of money, they'd have to powersell, in which some sets won't sell, and they'll lose what they gain.
That's just my personal opinion... I think it's awesome you offer to do this for other people, and I'm sure some people might go for it.
