The problem with your argument is that 90% of the BP/W sales on ebay are for new gear, not people who are "dumping" them. Those would be the hundreds and hundreds of used jacket BCs you see for sale.
A lot of dealers sell BP/Ws on ebay at least in part because few LDSs carry them, as they are not nearly as integrated into the retail distribution network as are BCs from the big consumer dive gear companies like scubapro and aqualung.
Wasn't my argument really. I was just playing devils advocate with someone elses argument. Just shows to go you, that one can bias data in multiple directions. Yet I will add, the gear doesn't have to used to get dumped and ebay is a good place to try to dump it.
