I know that all too well. There still are bargains out there if you 
are willing to invest the time and effort. But if "brokers" are 
charging a price for 50+ pcs that's 3 or more times higher than what 
I'm already selling a single one for, I can't help being somewhat 
shocked.

Known fact. Not always a good solution, especially with cheaper items 
you don't need 2500 of.

Yes I did. I was even wearing a push-up bra.
Won't try that again. My wife was carried off to the hospital and 
they had to sedate her to stop the hysterical laughter and the 
hick-ups. :-(
