Also a lot of these listings are junk. The want $100 for like $50 worth of hardware. I personally am waiting for the market to get a little more sane

I found using ebay to be quite slow, and it was hard digging through the listing to find if it had wifi, bluetooth etc.
I've found some good deals e.g this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256581174595 for $50.
It isn't bad I just think it is important to keep in mind many if the listings are deliberately misleading.
Side note I wonder who will buy that listing. It has jumped in popularity thanks to lemmy
Yes, maybe I should add this somewhere: 'This is an automated tool. Please read the listing and confirm the specifications before ordering.'
