I've been selling a lot of things on eBay lately. The venerable Lucent WaveLAN Gold PCMCIA cards (aka Agere or Proxim Orinoco) have been going for around $55 plus shipping. It's still as good a card as it was when I bought them in 1999. But it's interesting that people pay this much for a used card when you can get a a new one from buy.com for $59.69 delivered.
Ultimately, though, by creating a more stronger market for everything used, eBay is the best hope we have of ending the culture of disposableness. So I have to be in favor of it. Even if it is strange sometimes.
