Default What is with sellers who sell for the same price on Ebay and here???

Ok I do not understand why on various forums including this, there are sellers that sell on ebay and sell on here for the EXACT same price??! I know ebay fees are HIGH so why do they not pass at least some of the savings to members???!! Just a thought I have right now!

Perhaps because here the buyer usually tries to negotiate the price down so the seller may ask more to compensate. Sometimes what the seller asks and ends up selling an item for is a lot different.

That is true I have seen stuff on fleabay then come here and buy it as I see it's one of our supporting vendor's Elite Eng. is one of them and Steve did me a solid on the price. I also see people pay with paypal here and that has a cost also The number one reason I think is because Marketing just here wont pay all the bills. So they need to reach outside the Box and sell to the people who dont know off this site

Because Vendors here have to pay fees Too.
Vendors contribute to the high cost of running this forum so its free for us.
