Title: Saitek Eclipse II worth $8K?
Post by: blackdog on Wed, 05 September 2012, 20:32:53

How the hell does this keyboard rate this type of money?

Looking at his other items he might have just hit Ctrl-C at the wrong time and then pasted the wrong price into a bunch of items, including this keyboard, and a simple pair of headphones.

At that price it would have to!

You only have to sell one for it to be worth it.

I don't see anything else that is that exact price, so I can't really explain why he's got them so high. He has some more expensive items (massive canon 800mm lens, for example) but I suspect this is a mistake of some sort.

He's got 11 other items at this exact price, including these rather innocuous-looking headphones:

Plus a bunch of items at approximately this price.

And apparently he has sold 2 headphones (presumably at this price)!  Am I missing something?!?
