All those photos, and no sign it's been tested not to mention if it even works. I didn't see a guarantee, either.

Yep, far be it for me to plunk down $2K for just one unproven tube like this! And have it then shipped half-way across the world to get to me!

Its been there for months. Guy will take it to his grave for that asking price.

A dead cat could sell for a lot in the right market.  I won't hold my breath on this one though...

Another bargain:

Check the previously sold batches by clicking on "6 sold"
The previous one sold for $799.99 and now seller has only 1 batch left and thought:
Hmmm, last one, let's just add another $1000 to that.
Crazy!

I suspect that's the old "hmm, last lot, better count to make sure I do still have 100 available, in the meantime add 1k to it to stop anyone buying it". eBay makes it hard to pause a listing, though you can set qty to zero in reality, though people don't know that (you need to set up zero qty persist in settings, else the listing vanishes forever and you loose the valuable sheep heading sales history... There is a lot of subtlety to eBay selling and banging an extra zero on to reserve something is a common practice...

I haven't sold on eBay in ages but I bought some items from time-to-time that are often "Out of Stock" but still have their history going back a year or more. Didn't realize it was possible to keep the entry live while the item was unavailable. Crazy thing is an eBay search does not show them in the out-of-stock state and if not for having them on my watchlist, I would not be able to find them.

[Alex]

Yes, what shows up in search and what actually exists on eBay are quite different - the search is heavily skewed to what it thinks is useful, so will hide things that are out of stock, don't ship (or are not set up to ship) to your region or even if the business seller has had a few too many returns and customer complaints, eBay may bury their listings for a while, in preference to other sellers of the same items. If you are a business seller and pay a monthly stipend you get a number of listing entries per month, so even if you run out of something if you haven't used up all your listings it may be useful to leave old ones live but zeroed out in case you are able to restock, then you can benefit from the back history of sales...
