  My experience confirms this

  
  I recently auctioned a motherboard and two Intel processors, and got about HALF of what I was expecting. I ran my auction before Intel cut prices on their recent processors, so I was really surprised by the lack of response. Prior to that I auctioned a hardware firewall and got about maybe 20% less than I was expecting.
  Two years ago I was able to auction electronic goodies and actually get more than the selling price. I guess we went from one extreme to another.

  supply and demand, no?

  isn't this just a classic case of supply and demand? prices of "collectible" items go down since pre-ebay, they were alot harder to find. Now that it's truly a global marketplace, anyone anywhere can find those "hard-to-find" items.. thereby driving prices down.
