It's wiped them out. Even at local yard sales, you see tag descriptions such as: "Sold on eBay for $xx.00"

I used to buy local produce, to support the local farms, and because it was supposed to be cheaper, but when the local produce, which isn't organic, is 2 or 3 times the cost of produce shipped in from California or Mexico, I'm going to buy at the grocery store.
