I've wondered the same thing for the last few years, not just with golf items, but things like computers and electronics. So often I see items listed on eBay with a price greater than I can go down to the store and buy them, not even considering the overblown shipping many eBay seller gouge people with.

I recently bid on a TaylorMade r7 hybrid. There was about 5 hours left in the auction, current bid was $29, seller was charging $15 S&H. I bid a max of $50, which with S&H would end up costing me $65, saving me about $15 over what they were going for in local stores. I didn't bother tracking it, as that was as much as I was going to bid. The thing sold for $105! I couldn't believe it. The seller had an eBay store you could go to and pay $89 plus $15 for the S&H without even bidding! If I knew I could get that kind of result with most items, I'd be selling most of what I own on eBay.
