Find the price of a new Fender Squier Stratocaster guitar on eBay (you may use either the “Buy it Now” price or the final sale price from a recent auction). Compare this to the price of a new Fender Squier Stratocaster at Sam Ash and Musician’s Friend. Questions:
- How do the prices compare? Are the prices fairly close?
- Does the existence of the internet reduce price differences among sellers for products such as this?

Has the availability of sites such as eBay made it easier to find such items? How does this affect the gains to trade for buyers and sellers?
