Forgive me if I come across as rude, I certainly don't mean to be. But why not? Why do they deserve to get anything for a particular price? Why shouldn't they have to pay the higher price on eBay in exchange for the convenience of getting what they want when they want it? It's not an eBay price, it's a price set by the seller, which if the buyer is willing to pay, is a fair price, otherwise it wouldn't be paid. There's no forced bidding. If buyers stop buying, sellers will drop prices. Simple as that.

well, i know numerous people who found them in the stores. but im not debating with you because frankly im not really interested in talking to you.
anyways though to everyone else ofcourse things will always be available, but ebay connects the entire planet and makes things from all over the world readily available at any time. kill that source and your pretty limited to where you can get things. Before ebay, it was somewhat difficult to find a lot of things that i collect. Ghostbusters, MASK, he-man and so on. With ebay i can find any of those at any time and if i look enough i can get them for dirt cheap |

Ignoring all the previous posts and replying to the question in the thread title, I'd say that yes there would be. Go to any comic book show or toy show and you'll see where a lot of the scalpers are outside of eBay.

You all make some good points.
I guess all that evil-bay did was made it now that a scalpers can sell from the home and not at a local flea market or shop. And w/ the paypal accounts which keep the money flowing. But I guess there will always be scalpers ready to scalp up a store near you. So the only way I guess to beat the scalper is don't buy from them. |
