Or Why in the World did I get this Book Graded?

Hey Guys,

Although I have bought, sold, and collected comics since I am about 15(I am now 41), this was my first full year delving into CGC books. That being the case I only have this past year to gauge my progress and to see what kind of trends and economic practices have taken place. I also only sell on E-bay, since it is very easy compared to other sites and is the least expensive, or at least comparable. So my question is, do you see many more CGC books on E-bay these past 2 months or so, and aren't many of these books being sold for a very small profit, if that? One thing I am very good at is calculating cost and I can't see how it is worthwhile for many of these people to make 3, 4, or 5 dollars profit on a book after laying out 20.00 or more on the whole CGC process. And waiting God knows how long to get the books back. More so, why do you think this is the case? Is it dealers getting everything CGC'd, even though they are not key? Or people in general not knowing how to grade? Or is it just collectors getting rid of extra stuff they don't want? Let me know what you all think?
