Actually, it is not the power of eBay, but the swiftness of the sellers to find items that sell. eBay is certainly the beneficiary of the sellers savvy. And of course, eBay is the place the sellers can sell the most of just about anything on the web. Of course, where Furbies were hard to come by last Christmas, Pokemon is in abundant supply, so the eBay sellers will have to offer cut-rate prices to get the business. I always though WalMart had pretty good prices on just about everything. Tonight, I saw them selling bubble mailers at 56 cents each. We get them in bulk from an eBay seller for about 18 cents each. So, you know WalMart must be getting them for even less. I didn't realize WalMart had such a HUGE markup on certain items..... --Doug
