"No, no, no. This is a Rochefoucauld VAMP, the best water-resistant toy in the world! Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland and water-resistant to three atmospheres! This is the Cobra VAMP/MMS combo of the '80s. $5000 retail!"

I can't fault him too much. He says in the auction description "I don't really want to let it go, but if my price is met then it's yours"
I have a lot of nifty junk (well, nifty to me at least), sitting around. It's probably worth 100 bucks, but if someone wanted to give me 5,000 bucks for it, I'd sell it. So the guy realizes he has about a 2% chance of this item selling. He figures there might be some uber-desparate and loaded collector out there who IS willing to drop 5,000. Otherwise, he loses the money spent on listing the item. It's a pretty small gamble in retrospect-- spending 20-30 bucks hoping to turn it into 5,000.

His wife was probably like "Sell that damn thing!" So he put it on evilbay for 5 freakin' grand just to say that he tried.

MISB
But it has several flaws. If I am spending that kind of dough, I want it to be MISB and probably graded (and I don't collect vintage MISB or graded Joes) |
