They don't control the market though, not even close. For what you're saying to be true, there'd have to be a handful of people or entities(say 3 or 4) that control the ENTIRE of supply for a product(hundreds of thousands of boxes) and then those people would all have to price at the same price, never deviate from each other, never auction their goods, and not lower their price.
That's just not reality at all. EBay is the market. Have you ever seen the day after something like Sapphire goes on sale? There's a bunch of absurd BINs posted and then within an hour starts an immediate undercutting race to the bottom on pricing and settles around wherever price boxes are moving regularly.
That's an unmonopolized as it gets.
