Yes be VERY CAREFUL when you are buying from sellers with little or no feedback. It is a game of risk vs reward. Except sometimes you take ALL the risk, and they get ALL the reward. I would expect the initial supply on ebay to go for 500-700. There will be a limited supply and a very high demand. Once things settle down on Sprint, you will see the prices come down, but you will not see it for 300 for 8-12 months AFTER release on E-bay.

If HTC/Sprint release the new Sense UI HTC Hero, that will probably take some heat away from the TP2. It is really a business-centric phone, but there are plenty of people that will get it because of the messaging capabilities and the "always connected to everything" feature. If the Hero does a good software job, that will attract more of the "multimedia-centric" customers.

Only time will tell. I am waiting for mine too (on Verizon)
