That's the funniest thing I've heard. Have you even went to ebay before? I can get a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz CPU for $120 plus shipping on ebay when they are worth around $300-$500 in store.
I just got a adapter which totaled to $15. It has both PSX/PS2 and N64. Normally for just one system's apapter it's $20.
I bought a webcam that was worth $60 for $20. I can name many more examples of cheap stuff.
In order to get ripped off on ebay you got to have no brains. Simple as that. You have to be someone who searches, picks the first thing they see and doesn't read the descriptions.
Also I doubt they didn't give you a chance in the IRC channel. From what I've seen on the forums there is nothing wrong with the members here. I doubt they would act differently in the IRC channel.
