| I have seen quite a few similar " ridiculous" ads like this on Ebay and inquired about it. They sell these items on a regular basis for a normal price. When they run out of stock, they temporarily increase the price, so they can leave the ad going. When stock is back, they reduce the price back to normal. Apparently it is quicker and cheaper than to end and renew the ad. |

| The price is okay, but $12.77 for shipping. Glad, I don't need one. |
