Sorry OP, to think that by flaaging something up here on the forum pushes up the price of stuff on eBay is IMO a tad naive.
IMO eBay is a bit like the M25 - it's a victim of it's own success.
It would seem that nowadays eBay has practically become the defacto first choice of selling venue in the UK and no doubt the first choice for buyers trying to find a bargain.
However you must remember that so much stuff gets sold it is an impossibility for everthing that might be of interested to our community on eBay, pinkbike, etc., etc., that Retrobike would have to employ someone to sit on a computer all day flagging up items and then I'm certain there still wouldn't be enough time in the day!
Can you find stuff on eBay at reasonable prices - yes you can I have.
