Default RE: E-bay Pricing?

Using E-bay for pricing is a little hard. I have found on many items that my Hobby store will charge alittle bit more for the item than say E-bay. But you also have to understand that these E-bay guys are middle men. They take your order from a PC in there house and Send over the request to the Company that sells it. Then they have it drop shipped to your door. You figure At a local hobby store He has to pay Francise, the Rent lights phone internet you name it, a guy at home can make as much as a brick and motor setup with just his Personal PC. Anyway there is a 5-10 dollar differance from E-bay and Hobby. I try to support my Local hobby place and besides if I order something he gets it over nighted and that is real appealing to me cuz I dont have any patiance I want it now. Yeah and b carefull of those SHipping will be calculated after auction. I had a 100 engine new in box cost me 60 for shipping and it was 2 hrs away from me. those e-bay guys are sneaky sneaky.
