Surely you jest my man! Wonder what mushrooms the seller was eating! Stuff like that will make Estes reissue it
to make fools out of fools. Kurt

I'll pick up several at that price��:lol:

 

[jd2cylman]

Heck, I've got two in my basement I'd sell for that price...

Muwhahahaha what the f***. I saw that same kit years ago at Hobby Lobby for $14.99. Shroom people aren't even that stupid. Even old HK firearms that collectors value rather dearly for that made in Germany stamp don't appreciate in value that fast.

 

[Zeus-cat]

And $8.99 shipping!

Cl(VII)’s V2 level 3 project cost around that much?

 

[Kallahan11]

These prices are from bots, they automatically watch items they sell and when the supply drops site wide they increase their prices. My buddy bough a roll of stickers that said Caution, unscrew this bung slowly for 49c, next week the same seller had it for $45.

Shipping kills the deal.

you can pick up "alfreds basic piano course" from the seller to go with the purchase,too.

something to do while glue is drying.:kill:

and a wiring harness for a honda acura from the same seller!?!?!

I'm pretty sure that when this happens, the seller forgets to include the decimal point. Probably intended $17.99. People don't proofread their work any more in the age of texting and IMs, so the ad goes up and the person spends time wondering why no one is buying.

Just look at all of Vintage Lock's Estes listings and enjoy: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_in_...s=estes&ie=UTF8&qid=1515430541&rnid=275224011

My favorite (other than the V2): $22 for a pack of wadding.

Shady vendor is shady.

Agreed. But none of the rest of them is over a grand.

True, but it pretty much proves he’s pricing with a bot and that means crazy anomalies are possible. I’ve seen other (non rocket related) ridiculous prices on Amazon that also seem to stem from bot pricing.

Yeah, Amazon is going the way Ebay was a decade ago.. Deals are becoming harder & harder to find, let alone "from amazon" or a respectable seller..

 

[Incongruent]

Any chance the seller forgot to put a decimal point?
