If they were a true "dealer" then they would understand how it's necessary to keep turning inventory and about cash flow.
I know that didn't answer your question as to why they do it, I guess maybe the answer is because the can because they do not depend on eBay sales as a source of income - it's just fun for them.
Then, as Al mentioned, you have dealers such as Levi, but I think his situation is a bit different. I don't know him, but from what I understand of him, he doesn't need the money. It's my understanding that he's pretty well to do. I could be way off, but that's what I heard. If that's true, he may have much business savy and understand about turning inventory and cash flow, but may not practice that if he doesn't need the money.
I know it's frustrating when you're looking for a card, but as Al also mentioned, just wait and another one will always come along.
