Probably isn't kosher. You can't post links just to ebay, but since he's moved to email he's probably safe.

Just say no and move on.

While that may technically not be against the rules right now, I'll see about changing that. Definitely abusing the system. I'm fine with stores that want to participate as MOTL members, but that seems like they're just using us for free advertising. I really wish I could change someone's MOTL name right now, since theirs is just a big lie.

honestly, this is probably where they settle, save maybe one or two that are in the best decks in standard that go for 8.00

...consider that probably half a million of each of these will be added to the card pool

Half a million is a modest estimate since there were 289 000 of each of revised rares printed back in the old days. With rarity nowadays changed, and with sets having a much larger print runs (and not just one...) + MTGO redemption I'd say that number should be far greater.
It's still early however, set hasn't been even officially released yet.

This of course put them so far behind on Pre-Orders, that the store seems to have gone immediately from doing good to out of business.

This to me just all seems wrong, why the hell would a product be so short printed (Assuming this is the case, and it's not the distributor simply trying to charge more by canceling orders and then marking the product up and relisting) that stores literally go under due to not being able to make orders of the product.

To those saying the store was probably already going, seems unlikely, they held a 50+ person FNM often, ran drafts, sealed, etc daily, Online Singles, etc even stated that if not for this one event, they would have been fine.

Jax Cards Business Model was inherently flawed in that they operated on extremely thin margins and therefore were not able to build a cash reserve to deal with set backs. Furthermore, I hear that the main judge/partner in the business left.

Well not sure a store can let this happen. I had a discussion w/ my local store owner about allocation and canceled orders and he let me know he has prepaid for a ton of product. He also said there is no way in hell they'll cancel or allocate his order w/o some bad things coming their way. If they take the money for product then they are going to ship that product.

from what I gather, right now it's up in the air on if they stay open or not.

Seems shorty story was, they ordered ~5-9k worth of RtR, had a % of it Pre-sold to customers, then got told my the Distributor that they were not getting any cases, zip, nada, zero.

This of course would put them a very large chunk in the hole....

from there, I'm not 100% sure on what else is going on...
