That's just the price now. By the time the auction ends the prices aren't that low. The website isn't a secret any longer. Also most shops don't ship, so the best deals are to be had by locals and people who find facilitators.
Anyway, don't feel sorry for them: they are raking it in! Imagine all the stuff that sold for a pittance in-store before they even had auctions. They sell daily thousand-dollar watches and art now thanks to competitive bidding.
