I wonder with ebay and the different internet sites how dealers can buy anything and then turn around and sell for a profit when they are competing with potential buyers who are also buying off the internet. It's not like twenty years ago when dealers would travel around to hotels and people would bring in their collections or you would take your collections into cards shops for sale.
I buy exclusively off the internet and when i go to a card show, if i can find pre-war material, it's usually two to three times the price on the internet.
I respect the dealers right to make a profit, however, the internet has really affected the availability and values of cards and made it tough to have a retail facility or sell at card shows, in my opinion.
