The max listing fees are as follows:

Insertion Fees
Starting or Reserve Price 	Insertion Fee
$0.01 – $0.99 			$0.25
$1.00 – $9.99 			$0.35
$10.00 – $24.99 		$0.60
$25.00 – $49.99 		$1.20
$50.00 – $199.99 		$2.40
$200.00 – $499.99 		$3.60
$500.00 or more 		$4.80

Without tallying every one of his listings a conservative estimate is 
between $2000 and $4000  in lisiting fees.  Then if he sells any of 
these items there are more fees. Buy It now  tags add another fee 
on top of the listing fees.


My guess this guy has to have sufficient capital to list this many 
items at one time. This could be a book store or someone that an 
obtain books at a relatively cheap price. I still wonder by what 
criteria is he justifying some of the prices h e is charging for some 
of the books.
