I'd take into account, that MMP would print more than the Preorder number. So for quite a while, I reckon there won't be any selling the other 274 on eBay at $300 a pop as MMP will be able to continue to sell at $90. Your friend would need patience to wait until the MMP stock (and that of retailers) runs out before prices would rise significantly again. And even if he could sell for $300 a pop, he' still need to sell more than 80 at that price before breaking even. Not even talking about the fuss for all those auctions, shipping stuff, things getting lost, people not paying etc.
I'd call that somewhat of a tall order.
But from a
solely personal perspective, I would advise him to pull it off if he can spare the $25,000:
- It will make FKAC available sooner for many people.
- It will keep MMP funded, which is fine for the hobby.
- When they're done with FKAC, MMP will likely go for the (re-)print of the next one which is OoP.
So - I am all for letting him go for it.
