These seem like reasonable prices to me.
That does seem like a good price. You do see some great stuff for good prices usually sold by bike owners that know the value of their bikes and want to sell it fast. You just gotta be quick and get there first. I have dealt with good people that hold things for you if you are the first to contact them. Like this guy that sold me a NIB Shimano Ultegra front brake for $20. That thing stops like nobody's business. He had rare vintage tarck bikes hanging in his ceiling, omg. oops, I wet myself.
So, I was ranting, not whining as someone mentioned.
