Just wondering if anyone uses Ebay for equipment that does not require fitting?

I've been watching some things, and it appears that most of the items go for nearly MSRP. Does it get better in the colder seasons as far as pricing? Less demand?

I also wonder if there is a difference in quality of things like backpacks sold at non-specialized stores. For instance, I've been told that there is a difference in tires for automobiles sold at KMart/WalMart than those same tires sold at tire only stores. Does this exist for hiking equipment?

Sort of off-topic, I realize, but I notice Dick's has some very good sale prices on things, and just wondered about the quality I would be getting.

Thanks, as always -

Steve
