Yeah that makes a lot of sense, the downside of the internet is that everyone pretty much knows what everything is worth.

People can also be pretty stupid on eBay, though. Over the past three years, I have being buying BBC LS5/9 speakers; these have been going for £800 a pair, and recently £1600 a pair; but I've being buying them singly, and that way I've got them for between £80 and £130 each. They've been available that way because of all the mono studios that the BBC has been closing or upgrading, and matched pairs are irrelevant because they made all their own-design speakers to the spec required for matching in any case.
I've also regularly seen secondhand stuff bid up to more than the new price anywhere in town.

Also, a newsflash:
PEOPLE! IT IS NOW THE EIGHTIES AGAIN!
I will be converting my entire rig to a rackbased setup. I'm selling my Laney, and I have recently purchased an old digital preamp, a BOSS GX-700. This will go in a rack setup with a Rocktron Velocity 300 solid state poweramp I'm picking up very soon. I'll probably add some more poweramps, EQ's and what not as I go along.

I am often surprised to see shit guitars and equipment for sale in pawn shops for more than they can be had new. I've noted that about eBay for, well since it started. People get competitive and will bid, bid, bid for something just to be the "winner." The converse is Craigslist where no matter how cheaply you price something , some danker will want to haggle you down. I hate a haggler.

Speaking of good deal, just snagged a sunburst Squier Jazzmaster body for $100! Probably going to cannibalize my Jagmaster for the neck/wiring/white witch hats and sell the body/trem.
BOOOOOOOOOM. Finally getting a fucking partsy-goodness Jazzmaster.
Okay fuck it, I just bought a black pickguard on ebay. Since this is the VM Jazzmaster, it had a toploading bridge, which the guy drilled out for a normal tune-o-matic (he is tossing in a roller bridge) and added a cheap GFS trem. That will be replaced by their new Bigsby-alike system eventually. Here is a mockup of what I'm looking to do:
