Redman CB strikes again.

I have noticed this idiot has an enormously high percentage of crazy priced items for sale that have sold for a mere fraction of the current asking price. At first i thought they were typos but now I believe he just puts crazy high prices on everything for whatever reason he has for doing so.

Apparently that's the new trick when a seller runs out of stock, rather than having to end & re-list the item. They don't lose the "30 sold" stats, have to pay a re-listing fee, etc...

That's what I've seen as well. I do believe it's against eBay policy to do such. When you have an active listing you "cannot" be out of stock.

Wonder what he'd do if someone bought it at the inflated price?

I'm just going to start flagging his listings.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd be pretty pissed to have my $1200 dummy load paid for and not shipped.

BUT.... Hes also not the only one doing this, Ive seen this quite a bit lately and also wondered why the hell a person does this and now I finally know!!!

What is wrong about the price, it's less than a dollar a watt? :laugh:

What's wrong? Why nothing. Nothing at all. $1100 markup is perfectly normal for a $75 item.

I used the wrong emoticon....fixed it. Never bought anything from the swedishmeatball guy on ebay. The shipping looks reasonable if it's insured for $10,000.

Whew, you had me worried for a minute. Amazing the difference a single emoticon can make.
