There is a lot of overpriced stuff on eBay, so I am not surprised that
there is such sentiment. 

If you ask reasonable prices, and post here so that people here
know where to look, it is probably fine.

As far as I know, those who try to sell overpriced stuff aren't looking
to buy more to sell, but I could be wrong. 

But the real collectors probably read these groups, and will know
where to find you.
