Ebay fees aren't much less. However, I do agree that scans on line should closely mirror a cards true visual appearance. I don't care what venue or who is doing it. Legendary clearly has some work to do in this area (as do some other online sellers).

I think he means as a buyer...

No Buyers premium on ebay...Ebay is ALWAYS a better place to buy a card when the seller is KNOWN TO BE REPUTABLE...

ebay is better for buyers, worse for sellers.

Auction house, better for seller, worse for buyer...

IMO, the Buyers Premiums are out of hand...especially when you get to a thousand dollar lot...what are auction houses doing so great that makes them entitled to such easy money?

and shill bids can never be stopped....it may not be the AH owner or employess, but I assume that the AH's Uncle Jimmy is making a few bids to help out his nephew's auction house...
