I didn't even look on eVILbay, just local. From the seller's perspective, timing is everything on eBay. Right now D700's are hot and people tend to bid them up a bit if the seller has a good rep. Just a couple of weeks ago I saw three auctions for D300/s that ended without a sale. That model's value has really tanked, people are trying to get 800-1000 for them, but there aren't (m)any takers. It's not more than a D200 now, owners don't want to part with them for so little, buyers see too many other new DX or used FX options.

This year might be same for D700 sales. If I had one I'd probably just decide to run it until it's dead, or sell right now while there's demand from users who like its exact feature set.

If I were making predictions I'd guess that in twelve months used FX cameras will cost:

$1000-1500 for a D700 (already discontinued in some markets)
under $2000 for D3 (already discontinued and replaced)
$2000-$3000 for D3s (depending on condition, and pending clearance of retail stock, and subsequent discontinuation)
