That's normal for the mini tenkeyless ones.

Didn't it go over 300$ last time for a BIN space saver?

I should've included "Space saver" in the title.
This one is used. The NIB goes for more of course, but this is the highest I've seen for a used one

This was a used one. I actually had it on my watchlist, hoping for a decent deal. Not so.

I've seen used ones go over $300. It's rare, but it happens.

Can't you just put the supply/demand picture in your sig?

AFAIK, this is a record for a used one, hot on the heels of the 405$ nib one a few weeks ago.  It's only going to get worse.

How would Game theory apply in this?
Shrill Bidding?

Well that didn't last long.  The record was just shattered.  $499.99 for a "barely used" 1395682 Industrial Space Saving.  It was BIN on eBay and didn't last more than about an hour.  It did though come with a heavy duty drawer assembly from an IBM diagnostic machine where it was installed.

We should normalized that to $475 since it's free shipping and it probably would cost close to $25 to ship it.
