Its worth looking at the item location, if its collection only, and out in the sticks somewhere, then it tends to hold the price down. I was lucky with my bike, it was on my doorstep, and the pictures on
ebay didn't do it justice, i had the benefit of looking and trying before i bid, so i got it for £17 less than my maximum £120 bid, without seeing it i would have been out at £100, just like the other 2 bidders, and lost it for a quid.
But i got an almost brand new self propelled lawn mower for £50, when the same items locally were topping £100, but it was in the back and beyond of Goole. Cost me a gallon of diesel and 2 hours to save me a good few bob, but i am a Yorkshireman after all, wheres theres muck theres brass.
