If you do so, and do well, great. My experience with following=20
e-bay auctions is the prices look good until the last 4 hours of
the auction. Then, like in a cried auction, the prices go up
fast, often to levels higher than those you would pay otherwise.
The brand new items are typically carried by dealers. They put
low prices on, but high reserves. I followed one kiln auction
carefully and checked for when it finally passed the reserve=20
price. It was less than $20 from the "Buy it now!" price, which
was higher than my local dealer's sale price.
Also, shipping from half way across the country can run you quite
a bit. Some of their shipping/handling charges will be greater
than those for regular mail order (or internet) dealers. Some of
the E-bay dealers also have on-line sites competing against their
own auctions. Often the auction price exceeds the catalog price
(when shipping is included).
