Ive seen people come into a brick & mortar and smoke a cigar they won on a bid site. I mean would you bring your own beer to a bar?
I wrote up a long response in regards to most of your statement but ultimately it didn't seem relevant to the post. Suffice to say, I doubt very seriously it's the fault of auction sites that B&M's are going out of business, at least in my experience with which local B&M's are successful and which aren't.

Regarding Padron MAP, I had a feeling this would be the case, and it is unfortunate as I do thoroughly enjoy them but they aren't available locally for less than 100% markup over MAP.
