It's amazing how it seems that things are so overpriced on eBay (even auctions seem to go for higher than they should). Don't get me wrong, since for the last couple of years I've been predominantly a seller. I've had a couple of hundred transactions of which only 2 or 3 were purchases by me (and by golly those were a good deal, like a Brother MFC-9840CDW for $520 shipped). I mean, I've had two people this year alone buy a 1.42 GHz 14" iBook G4 for $1300 each (granted they were brand new w/a full warranty from Apple)! I've sold 1TB external hard drives for up to $40 above what you could find them for at other online m merchants. Similar story on printers (except the markup was almost double what you could find online).
