A friend of mine used to sell brand name sports trainers on eBay. He subsequently gave up his business because it was becoming increasingly difficult to fight for business with online retailers that specializes in Running Shoes and other athletic footwear.
Although my friend is able to keep overhead cost as low as possible, he was still on the losing end because of the price factor. He conceded that he would not be able to offer his shoes at prices as low as his competitors.
I did a comparison on Holabird Sports and I have to say that my friend is right. Besides the discounted prices, they also offer one flat shipping rate and free shipping on many other items. All these encourage shoppers to shop with them.
