Pure greed.

This is the best one I've seen in awhile,  rare but £5000 for a game?!?

I wonder if Retr0bright could even help that A500.

This guy should really amend his prices, you can buy a brand new 020 accelerator from Amigakit complete with 128MB Ram and 2 year warranty for £100 less!

Well, I hope that's a typo. I see that he already sold 12 of them for 25.

Most likely it is temporarily out of stock, some sellers will increase the price to deter further sales when they are awaiting more stock from their supplier,
just means they don't have to end the current listing.

I have been selling a few things in eBay lately, and there is  strange phenomena I just don't understand... why do people get into bidding wars (or bid at all) days before the auction ends?

I think getting into early bidding wars it can sometimes be to your advantage, I have used the eBay phone app to match some rival bids real time when the price was still relatively low, my theory is some bidders get annoyed by this and just bugger off. :-)

While reading some of these posts and looking at the auctions, this question popped in my head: What's the most insane Amiga auction that's been seen? - What was the item and what was the insane price??

The most insane auction I seen recently was a Picasso IV and some of it's modules that sold separately for 1655 EUR!

Yea a lot of sellers bump up the price temporarily when they are expecting more stock, the reason is to keep the sales history on display, and helps maintain the items ranking within the search results.

@bitman

I would say a fair price considering Commodore are rumoured to have made only 300 of them.
