I think Kevin and Lindsay are both right - the supply (eBay and Brickbay)
has exploded without the demand increasing to match, so prices have dropped,
and we are now approaching the seasonal slump so things are likely to get
worse. The eBay seasonal slump is usually June/July/Aug (students back home
without their college Net access, people out in the sunshine) so what we've
seen so far is not part of that, but in my experience from 1999 and 2000 it
is definitely real.
