tomf87 said:I believe eBay is full of a bunch of people that pay more for something than its worth, as well. I think a far better method to examine demand is to look at a non-auction style environment. Auctions can cause people to pay much more than what an item is really worth.
As for the battery recall, maybe the person was referring to the $99 battery repair program.
I really don't think that is what eBay is. I think its a place where products are sold for what they are actually worth. Example: Pioneer 7600MP (Car CD player). It can be bought for $180 on eBay brand new. Retail is 299.
