Of course I sometimes get far more than eBay sellers (as in the case cited above), both because I reach more interested collectors, and because of the "trust" factor. I believe it is fair to say I get a substantially higher amount overall for 100 posters than an eBay seller would for the very same posters.
Absolutely, any buyer with the time to search eBay regularly should do so, especially if they can handle the possible frustration of poorly packed or over-graded posters. Then again, I don't always sell for more. I sometimes have some real bargains!
