Title says it all . I have seen game used bats that were once on ebay show up in dealers inventory on their websites . Usually at quite a mark up in price .......
Just like the Montana Jersey in another thread .
I remember asking a dealer if an item came from ebay and was told "we don't buy from ebay" .
I was thinking to myself "you are full of cocka"

There is a dealer in Southern Illinois that is always bidding on Cardinals bats - I have seen bats that I once bid on in their inventory at shows...with at least a 30% markup.
Good for them. If I was in this business, I would try to make every dollar out there. I am pretty sure all dealers are suffering right now (if not, most).

JT Sports is always buying bats on ebay and then they go up on his site.

Dave, don't you mean Southern Indiana?
I see national dealers bidding on eBay all the time -- even those who advertise how they get their items "directly from the players." The scary thing is they're not necessarily buying good items. Just this past week, a well-known dealer from Georgia bought two Cardinals jerseys that were sketchy; one definitely was too large for the player.

I just wanted to clarify something : I love buying on ebay , I get quite a few of the items I buy from ebay .
Now what I think is funny and hypocritical . Some game used dealers try to talk down on ebay .
It seems these same dealers are buying on ebay as well.......
