There are lots of things that determine ebay pricing the least of 
which I would think have to do with Apple flooding the market. Check 
next week and you might find completely different numbers, but I 
doubt it... this is a buyer's market right now because of
- the economy; I know of several techs who are working for free just 
to keep their skill set current... they ain't buying anything they 
don't absolutely need.
- education cycle... higher prices during the time 
(July-September???) that kids/parents are buying units for college.
- Apple's product cycle; the 17 & 12 inch powerbooks were different 
enough to probably cause a larger number of people selling their Ti's 
to upgrade... simple supply & demand economics.
