EBay does well with merch that's easily shippable; it effectively establishes
a national if not world market and price level, erasing regional differences
in values and availabilities of all categories of goods.
Except boats. For those, it's still a regional market because of the
transportation issue. I've followed dBay auctions for years now, and all but the
most desireable boats, even more than automobiles and even RVs, are prone to few
and low bids, presumably from bidders within comfortable driving distance.
