Since you can buy brand new De Rosa Primatos for about $1,500 the last time I checked, $1.5K would seem to be a fair retail price. Sellers like this seem to be looking for suckers, and you know what they say ... there's one born every minute. The prices for vintage frames seems to have gone through the roof on eBay. I don't think many of them are selling for such high prices, but more and more sellers are setting high starting bids or fixed prices rather than letting the auction process determine the value. Part of the problem is that eBay lets sellers relist items for free if they don't sell, so there's little incentive to drop their prices unless they need the money right away.
