In my opinion for what its worth lol, I have been a part of auctions outside of Ebay and in comparing results from outside auctions to the same or similar ones on Ebay, it appears to me that Ebay final price is lower. Granted there are exceptions depending on rarity and grade offered at times on Ebay. I see the shift moving outside of Ebay as to prewar vintage cards. I like Ebay and have been able to amass some great cards from there over the years but from what I have seen in the last 6 months to a year, Ebay doesnt offer the selection in graded vintage cards that it used to and that is a shame. For people like me who are usually upper middle of the road grade collectors and buyers, the auction house prices are well out of my range. It would be nice to see someone come up with an auction site that fills in the nitch between Ebay and the big auction houses. Maybe I am just totally way off base here but I dont see the so called big hitter sellers on Ebay that once were previlant.
