Humayun is right. Long gone are the days where you could reliably hop on to eBay and hope to bid on a bargain and actually get one. There are far too many other users trawling the same things you are for popular items not to sell nearly at or even beyond their true worth. If you're going to buy anything, place a maximum bid and stick to it - it's so easy to get caught up in the moment and end up paying more than you would have for the item new.
I find that it's more useful as a shopfront these days, and as long as you don't mind that you don't get to see or feel new items before they're delivered, it's a good place to shop. I often buy stuff that I can meet for the first time at my own front door - not a retail store's. Delivery from HK can be as fast as two days, and this makes it a real time saver for me.
