On the other hand, for those who didn't live near ubiquitous junk availability, eBay kinda did the opposite.
"Surplus resellers" tend to grossly inflate the price of all this junk, so it sits on their shelves indefinitely. Meanwhile, eBay became the yard-sale of old, offering a lot of it for far more reasonable prices (so long as the seller wasn't pretending to be a "real business").
- setquk 8y agoUnfortunately it has got a little too popular in the last 5 years or so which has driven the prices up. The only things which are reasonably priced are broken AND require collection from somewhere obscure or buy it nows listed by idiots. I’ve had a few good bits of luck in that space only recently.
