Different options for different needs. The market will accommodate all buyers at every price it can in a system like ours. Its a sign of health.

The places you listed can charge higher prices because usually they don't allow you to bring your own food or water, or people are traveling and don't easily have the option to anyway.
Dealers can charge whatever they want for their cards, and for cards that are hard to find, it makes sense that if Deans has them, they will sell even at a premium. The few cards I have bought from Deans fall into that category. What I don't understand is how they sell readily available cards at the prices they generally have them listed for.
