Hi Mike,
your spot on. Even compared to a year ago, the bargains aren't there.
I went on last week looking for a Mac keyboard and mouse. Most USED items on there were going for around £40 + for the pair. I saw one lot go for £47 + £7 postage and they'd have paypal charges, etc.
Checked on the Apple site, £39 brand new and £5 post (as it was I picked this up from our local Apple centre, so no post).
I think too many people get caught up in auction frenzies trying to outbid each other.
If I see something I like that I think might be still available, I copy the description and 'Google' it. Most times it comes back cheaper for a new item than something that someones trying to sell for as close to the price they paid for it a while back.
Saying that I still spend too much money buying LP's !!! My wife goes nuts every month at the paypal amounts on the bank statement. I'll need to open another bank account shortly!!
John.
