Take a good look at the inventory of some Ebay powersellers. Some of them would have to invest more than a million dollars to acquire their bags. They would have to travel constantly to acquire their inventory because no local Hermes shop could supply them.

Actually some of the more prominent Hermes resellers on Ebay have people helping them obtain Birkins from all over the place. These resellers would pay a "finder's fee" to these people and then they add their own fees on top of it so that's why the Birkins you see on Ebay are all being offered with a premium. Also, occasionally some Hermes VIPs will consign their bags to these resellers if they don't want the Birkin anymore for whatever reasons and that's why these resellers have a handful of inventory. Hope this explains.
BTW, there are a few reputable resellers for Hermes on Ebay. If I may say so, it's safe to buy from them if you are willing to pay the premium. The most important thing is to do the research and check their feedbacks before venturing down this avenue
