The traveling and searching in stores takes too much time, and they tend not to have special items.
I live 50 miles from a big city, so Ebay is fine for me. I can in few minuttes find several offers and compare specifications and prices.
But mainly I use Ebay to buy used measuring equipment.
I often get items at 10 to 50% of normal used prices, however I do it once a year, during the summer holidays, when there are fewer buyers.
On Ebay I can buy products from the whole world, important for rare items.
I also like the fact that all is in writing, and that Ebay will solve conflicts.
If it is a fixed price item, and it does not sell, I write and give a resonable offer, like 40% reduced.
All my daily shopping I do locally.
