I bought a local-to-me truck off eBay once for 23k ( pending inspection ). After inspection I declined the purchase for several reasons.

A few weeks later, the same truck came up for sale at one of the big eBay stores for like 40k. I suspect that 'store' is a consignment setup like you describe. Your experience helps explain to me some of the crazy pricing I see at these 'stores' that have too many listings at too high prices.
