could be like last week they were selling for $250, so people might see a market for buying cheap and reselling when the time is right.
obviously prices go high and low. just chancing there arm no doubt.

BTC is always only worth what people are willing to pay for it.

Ebay is easy to get them on. Accept paypal, etc. Plus there is risk for the seller due to paypal/chargeback.

Profit-taking and selling to the yokels that don't know/can't be bothered to buy them elsewhere. I sure as heck wouldn't buy 'em on Ebay. WAY too much opportunity for shenanigans.
