There are certain items (at the moment, I think it was digital cameras, but I may be remembering incorrectly) which regularly sell on eBay for *more* than retail, and there are some items, such as hand-crocheted which you nearly can't give away (and which would most certainly bring decent prices elsewhere). eBay is a very interesting place :-).
