It's still only a maximum of 500 x whatever his percentage is. But I doubt it will be much more than 25%, if that. Mass market is only 20%, and if there's an agent involved they will want their cut of that as well.

And if most of them don't go to dealers, why are Ebay and Amazon always flooded with them on release day?
