Ham radio stores charge more on Ebay was: Price gouging?

Think that’s bad. Compare gun store prices to Gunbroker.com prices. We call it Gunjoker.com. Total rip off, but people lose their minds in the auction setting.

Radio stores have to make up the difference from ebay's ridicules seller fees.

I sell a lot on eBay and Amazon. My cost on eBay is a bit over 30% and on Amazon it approaches 40%. My average sale is $31. Percentage for a scanner will be less due to the higher item cost.
