There are two movements going on from what I can see Super, a dumping of items that there is a glut of and a ramping up of prices of the more esoteric or recent shorter production run items. Some Advance loco's are now listed on eBay for upward of $60 new, whereas you say others are only $15 or so.
Second hand I would guess there is going to be a short term dumping of items by those who are either not fully committed to the format or have failed to complete their collections and now don't want to invest in a dead system. But longer term I reckon you'll see the prices going upwards.
Thankfully I think I've got all those items on the above list plus some of the more interesting items like the transit stations and of course the 'BIG station' and at some point want to build it all into a massive layout, its all just a case of finding the time and space lol!
But in the meantime I'm still going to be looking for bargains to add spares to my ever growing Advance set...

Happily collecting things all my life...
