In this instance, if you where to have bought the mug on ebay, you still have to pay insurance and shipping whichi could be equal or greater than the price of the mug you found at a store. True you may come across a certain low priced mug on ebay, but you are left open to snipers and early auction retrations. You have to be willing to pay the big bucks if you want it (if it's rare or the last piece of a set). I've bid on ebay, i've won, i've lost. Say-la-vee. Mo-Holler.
