That usually means it's out of stock. I guess it's easier to just change the price than to remake the entire listing.

After looking over the seller's ratings, I'd steer clear of that one even in fair weather. Pretty flaky.
Ran across this listing not long ago. Not quite as outrageous, but still....

My question was meant to sound tongue-in-cheek. Yeah the two already sold, gives it away, that it's either a typo or just laziness.

I suspect it's a phishing expedition, and if caught, the seller says, oh, oops, sorry ... just a typo. Every month or two a drunk dot-com millionaire buys one of these at any price, and is too ashamed to contest the sale. Otherwise I think it would be contested and corrected within a day. You know the sellers "check their trout lines" regularly.

Winner - Someone posted one of their pipes last week and I started nosing around there auctions and it looks like that's is what they do. Jack up the price until they have one back in stock. It must be easier than recreating the auction every time. Leave it to the bay to make life miserable for a seller. HAHA
