It has been my experience that, typically, popular items on EBay often sell far beyond their value. Especially computers and I guess bicycles.
As many of you know, Wal Mart is now marketing a road bike, which I believe they are selling for about $145 or so. One of these recently went on EBay for about $300. And, frequently, you can find a cheaper, new and better computer on the Dell website than the price on EBay.
It is difficult to compete with uninformed bidders.
OTOH, I got a wonderful set of very high quality brand new, but 1992 model, Blackburn front panniers (yes, they used to make them) for $17.00.
