Another thing to consider is that ebay is international. The bidder could be in New York or could be in New Zealand. You never know. I've sold on ebay for almost 14 years and have shipped items to virtually every developed country in the world during that time. An item that is cheap and common here, might be quite rare and expensive somewhere else.
