There are a lot of people who seriously lament the fact that they'll never
be able to afford to buy a house in San Francisco. Why? Because there are
a lot more people who want them then there are houses. So the prices go
up. You can't fault the people who sell them for not selling them cheaper.
Sure, you can lament the fact that there are more collectors out there than
there are Apple I's or whatever, but it won't do you any good, and it makes
no sense to chastise ebay for creating an efficient way to get those items
in front of more people or sellers for using that method to get the most
for their items.
That's life, my friend.
If you don't have the $ to buy on ebay, you can instead work a little
harder and find the same things elsewhere for lower prices (our own beloved
Sam is an excellent example of this.) If you've got the $, you can be lazy
and just bid a zillion samolians on ebay.
