Have vintage PC prices on eBay gone up again, or is it just people putting on listings with fantasy prices?

@thomasfuchs How vintage? I was thinking yesterday about downscaling and selling off some of my Socket 7 stuff, and was dismayed at how reasonable prices have become in the past few months, way down from what I saw a couple years ago.

@thomasfuchs Maybe it's relative then. I was surprised to see listed working full Socket 7 systems, cases and all, around ~$150 - $200 shipped, and mainboards at ~$40, after a couple years ago seeing prices nearly double that.
Some Commodore and Atari stuff seems to be down right now too, but again that's relative - I have been seeing Amiga 500s in the mid $200s, when I'm used to seeing them in the upper $400s.

@prokyonid yeah definitely there’s some fluctuations, but I’m used to seeing like 486s for $50 (I guess that was like 5 years ago?) and now they’re often $200+
