Yes, but he would have to sell them individually on eBay.  The X-factor in all
of these auctions is the "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" that helps
to drive up the price.

I was almost so caught up in the play-by-play of this one that I felt a few
pangs of desire.  Heck, I don't even have a single Mirage.  Fortunately, Ismenio
posted a lengthy review, on his web site, of these machines from a few years
ago.  It was so scathing, as to the build quality, that even I was dissuaded
from ever wanting to own a Mirage.
