It's June = TDF fever = new C&Vers coming out from haitus and after watching a little bit of the Schleck and Contador mountain battles they suddenly need to satisfy thier cycling desires with doses of C&V gear from eBay and CL for a quick C&V nostalgia fix......Supply and demand = higher prices
Just check back in CL and eBay around November and things should have "calmed down" sufficiently.
