eBay prices have become over inflated by the 14% charge to sellers (incl on postage). Sellers then inflate their prices accordingly. There is also the bidding frenzy that pushes up prices further.  Several times I've part exchanged at WEX (because they are local to me and I like to look people in the eye when they estimate my equipments value) and found they have offered prices that are less than 10% below eBay prices. If the price is less than 14% below the typical eBay sale price I always accept...saves a lot of hassle like packing/postage/buyer complaints etc.

I am surprised you didn't buy her another Olympus to share lenses and give you a back up. 😆
