As to the items that seem overpriced, either the sellers have all the time in the world, or they overpaid, or they're right and someone comes along who pays the asking.
Another variation on this is a rust pitted part that they had blasted and painted. To me that's in the same catagory as the sleazy fresh coat of paint and home depot flowers seen on a houses for sale. It cost the seller some time and money but it doesn't change the real value to a perceptive buyer.
