Personally I prefer to buy bikes that are not my size. Proceeds from deals on bikes that don't fit provide me the funds to pay FMV for bikes that don't fit. If I waited for deals in my size, I'd be waiting a long time, and I would miss out on the best deals.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
