Just one flaw in your theory.
1. Those are pre86 dealer samples, not post samples.
2. You still would need a LE demo letter for each and every post sample you wanted to buy.
And a lot of dealers use a variation of your idea. They buy a MG for their "inventory" and mark it up say 25% above current market prices. If it never sells, no biggie as it was mostly a personal toy in the first place. If it does sell, no biggie buy another at current market prices and pocket the 25%.
The only thing that a 500% markup is going to do is guarantee nobody will ever buy anything from you or ever take you seriously. Keep in mind these aren't transferables, so you aren't gonna get a uninformed rich guy to buy one now and then by mistake. Only a FFL/SOT can buy pre86 dealer samples and generally they don't have a half million dollars and if they did they will know that pre samples go for.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
