the dealers on E-bay have turned it into a joke
the same machines listed week after week
I don't even bother looking more than once a week (if that)

The "don't care" factor works against them. Buyers are a lot more educated these days. Repeat listings just add to the reputation. If a game is continually relisted, then it suggests the seller price is too high, or that the workmanship is so poor that the inventory does not sell. I think relisting the games is part of their business acumen of convincing themselves that they know the product and the market. I'm not complaining, other than eBay games often hit my workshop, so I should be grateful
