Default Disappearing Hobby Stores

Posted By: Sean BH

Another thing with the advent of eBay is a "global store." Where for the most part many of the buyers at card shops were local people; now a seller can offer his cards to anyone in the world and have a far larger buying audience.

You really can't argue about the costs of a shop with rent, utilities, INSURANCE (every card store in my area growing up at some point was broken in to), kids stealing cards and having to staff/be at the store.
