For the most part, all I have ever bought on eBay is books. I have many technical manuals, some that cost $65 new, and have never paid over $20 (including shipping) for any of them. SOME I've paid under $10 WITH shipping!
I haven 't sold anything on there in at least 6 years. Even back then, the fees seemed kinda high.
