re: Ebay sky high.
I almost hate to rub it in, but did you see the link I put up the other day, from eBay? A fellow in Corona California selling six plug in modules he had gotten from a storage unit purchase. He had very little idea what he had. He sold them for $25 - for all six!
Sadly, the auction was almost over when I first found it and it ended at a weird time too, but I did throw it up on the forum in hopes that someone here would get it.
So I reckon there are still a few plug-in bargains, even on fleabay, but yeah not like ten years ago for sure.
Cheers
