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.

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.

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, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
