I've noticed pretty much the same trend over here. I've seen Bachmann trolleys in HO listed with a "Buy it Now" price of £45 (around $80 or so!) and a starting bid that was exactly what you'd pay in a store for one. Shipping prices can verge on the crazy too. I just wish all sellers would actually list the shipping price on the item - having to email them is a pain and I would never bid on something without knowing how much I would be charged for this. Right now I'm finding loads of cheap older computer parts for one of my other hobbies (currently building a very cheap file store for our home network). There are still sensibly-priced model train items on eBay though they are getting harder to find - interestingly some of the over-priced stuff makes a weekly re-appearance often at a lower price, so it's worth checking often.
