It's interesting in that you can find Steiner items on ebay for half the Steiner retail price. I guess some people overextend their finances buying $500 baseballs and have to liquidate.
So, if it's marked $500 at Steiner and sells on ebay for $250, what is the true fair market value? Seems like the $500 is a somewhat artificial price point and the $250 is more representative of FMV.
