My opinion - I think many collectors have a sense of security and peace of mind when buying large $$ items from an auction house over Ebay. They know they will get an authentic item, and don't mind paying a little more money for it.

Just my 2 cents.

P.S. - I'm not saying that all ebay sellers are ripoffs. There are some great sellers on ebay - just sayin.
