Yeah, the ignorant owners who want to make a buck where ever they can jack up the prices.
Every once in a while you get someone who isn't a super capitalist, and lists things for fair, or even better than fair prices (i got a campagnolo record/mavic gl330 front wheel for like $30)

I usually start my opening price on things I sell higher than I would like to get. E.g., I sold a hardly used Brooks w/ Proofide for $75. I asked $80.
I am currently selling some wheels w/ Suntour Superbe pro hubs and Araya rims and brand new Conti 4000 tubs for $275.
These seem like reasonable prices to me.

So, I was ranting, not whining as someone mentioned.

yeah there's ridiculousness for days on NYC's bike CL, but there's also some great deals. i've had four epic wins via CL over the last 2 months. you just have to check it several times a day and jump right away when you see a deal.
i've also made money on everything i've sold on there, too. great place to unload parts you don't need for quick cash. i'm not afraid of buying random parts on Ebay anymore, since I can always flip them on CL for at least what I paid.
