You are lucky enough to live in a place where disney comics are widely appreciated. There is a *big* difference between the disney comics fan, and the "disneyania collector." I have come across quite a few disneyania collectors who were, in my opinion, utterly insane. They will buy just about *anything* with a disney character on it, and if it's not for sale at the disney store, then it must be valuable! They buy these things in such great quantities that they don't have the time to stop and see if there is a better way to acquire whatever it is that 
has just caught their fancy, they buy the first thing that presents itself. Ebay is also extremely convenient, and a lot of people don't mind paying higher prices for the sake of ease (or to raise their ebay rating!) 
Ebay is a really great tool, if you're *smart* about it. When you go to it already knowing what you're looking for, and how much it is actually worth, you can find some really great deals there. Or you can get stuff, although expensive, which might take years to track down otherwise. There's just a heck of a lot of crazy people out there.
