Maybe... One of the cool components of the hobby is FINDING the bargain.
These announcements do nothing but raise the prices eventually paid for

Of course. Finding bargains is fun. Recognizing gems in the rough
amidst a sea of PC clones in a warehouse os sale items is fun.
Relatively few items find their way to eBay, in the grand scheme of things.
This is a tempest only if you live in the eBay teapot. I do not
recall any reports of yard-sale Altairs with signs saying "Just $4000,
20% less than eBay."
