> If that's true, I wonder why the market hasn't corrected. With the prices Pis have had lately, I would expect them to go from drawers to ebay quickly. My personal explanations (I do believe there is a grain of truth in each of them, but you have to take them all together to get an explanation): - A lot of the RPi boards that lie around in the drawers are older versions in which many buyers are less interested. - Many buyers are hesitant to buy used RPis because something might be broken with them; this risk (and attempting to get a refund) is not worth the trouble. - In countries where there are complicated taxation laws and strong(er) customer protection laws, many hobbyists do not consider it to be worth the (felt) potential legal trouble to put their RPis on eBay.
