I think a lot of companies maintain eBay stores now as much for visibility as anything else. We're starting ours up again in the near future for that reason. "SWEeBay"

You for example went to eBay first for foul weather gear.

I wouldn't doubt that the people maintaining the eBay store are somewhat disconnected from West Marine proper, resulting in price discrepancies. Not defending them by any means, just an observation. They could have even hired a company to maintain it.

It's funny though, I am starting to see eBay become the place NOT to get a bargain lately. People assume that eBay offers low prices and companies are starting to capitalize on that. Buyer beware, as always I guess.
