Steve,
I suspect that on account of eBay, the collectors eventually all got to know each other personally and I think many are dealing straight with each other as opposed to going through eBay. Just a theory, but it may be the answer.

Whatever happened to all the Campy parts listings on ebay?
A year ago, there were several (?3000+)thousand listings for parts and this week there are only approx 1200 listings... has the bike collection market gone downhill? Are vintage collectors and bike sellers hoarding parts or keeping the parts off ebay?
Just wondering...
