I think I know why eBay items are getting more valueable.

I'm sure many are skeptical as to why items sold on the fleaBay are getting to such un resonable rates but the simple answer depends on how much the buy has to blow. I discoverd recently the increacing number of newer buyers are pretty well off. It's said that users that own large businesses (and even ultra- err... whatever they are called) are joining to buy items and due to the fact that "the richer are getting richer" so they can afford to pay for anything they want regardless of what they are actually valued at. So for the "must haves" things are going pretty well but for most of us (I.E. the "can't haves"), it looks like we are stuck. Not only this, as listing prices increace it will be soon that only the rich will be using eBay in the not-so distant future.

Well I know of a few "well-off's" that are using eBay but im not naming names. Even for buisiness owners we all have out hobbies. If there are people who got their's running in the early 90's (or before) chances are they had interactions with Amiga's so maybe they want a slice of the action again today. I can't prove that but that's one theroy. All I know is that a wider range of people are using this service to such an extent that the economy is changing. Last time something similar happend like this is back in the 80's.
