This auction is for a heavily used Kensington Trackball mouse. No box, but includes the wrist pad. I'm selling this mouse to buy a Honda S2000, hence the $15,000 price tag.

Ahah, hilarious thanks Berserk :)
Hey, guys I have one to sell (no kidding), I have the box and it was moderately used, do you think I can ask for some billions if I want to buy a jet?

Billions?

You can probably get a few trillion reichmarks for it, assuming there are eccentric old people in Germany who haven't used theirs as firewood yet.

I'm a fan of this one, myself
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Vintage-IBM-Clicky-Keyboard-3487-Model-M-1395660-1395661-PARTS-DAMAGED-/231515947791?

Nah, unlike the one I posted, this could be a mistake. My poster was clear and explicit that his trackball was worth over $14850.00 or something comparable to a motorbike. The one you posted could easily have been a typo of $9.95.

Now that ebay no longer charges people for posting, or for a portion of the original list price, you get all kinds of crazy prices hoping to fool buyers. It's not the way I like to see ebay go.

Most motorcycles are less than ten Grand. He wants a Honda S2000 sports car.

That one is being sold by tech-harvester. It looks like it was salvaged from the business end of an actual crop harvester.

Methinks the seller of the item in the OP got their head caught in the business end of a crop harvester shortly before deciding on a BIN price for the listing.

Even moving the decimal point one space to the left it would be too much.
"However, my view has changed in recent days. Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."
