Yes, very true about the eBay value! Isn't it funny how some bikes have been listed and relisted for the same absurd price!
i had the opportunity last year to ride a titanium Serotta and the fit was great! It was also very comfortable! A new bike wasn't needed and really wasn't in the budget so I let it pass but have thought about the ride often. I just wonder if a similar situation presents itself if I will be looking at a larger or possibly smaller price tag?
