I don't mind too much, I try to look for things that are specifically cheap and think of a project. I've been buying £10 PCI cards and trying to make them do things, or broken things and trying to fix them. I've fixed loads of dead video cards - it's more fun than using themOn a more serious note:
It is a shame. There are many things (Micron Xceed grayscale setup, any Lisa) that I'm quite certain I'll never be able to afford because of a combination of this and eBay price fixing shenanigans.

The other thing, is the bathtub curve - buy things that will be of interest in the future and enjoy them while they're cheap. No need to buy the things other people want.
As always, music software and graphics software on a £20 G4 is hours of entertainment!
