I'm guessing they either meant to put it as $78.95 or they're insane.

maybe they are just trolling ebay....

but more than likely it is a price mistake or some ebay sellers have automatic adjustments when stock gets low or misreported as low that raises the price very high so no one will buy it so they don't sell something they don't actually have.

Or maybe it's what most sellers do when they run out of stock. They just change the price of the item to something stupid so nobody will buy it until they bring in new stock. That way, they don't have to pay relisting fees.

I'm betting the seller double tapped the 9 key.
That's what you get for using a rubber dome when you sell mechanicals. :P

I think this is just a  superior model. I read the specs 5 times. I'm sure the special feature is in these somewhere  :p
