I get the numbers that I do because about 70% of my buyers are repeat customers. I have about 6000 people on me email list. But that is built up over 25+ years of selling on ebay.
If you were to start putting items on ebay on a regular basis, you would see better prices within 6 months as you develop a following.

I agree. I am up to 500 watchers in my eBay store, and like Scott 70% of my sales are repeat customers. The key is to keep listing new items and refresh the old listings (I wish I was better at this). The fees don't bother me. I think that when you figure the cost to set up a booth at a show it is probably a wash, and you don't have to lug around your inventory.
