Paul speculates that money laundering could be behind this absurd price for a Tecsun PL390. Time to look up the word usurious.

Looking at his other items, I'm thinking this is just a glitch or fat-fingering. Both of these overpriced items are about $1100 higher than they should be.

Many businesses at the retail level exist for Money Laundering purposes.

Somebody else totally out of touch with reality: Ebay # 370478978215. Got one of these a few years ago for $15.00, just for the nostalgia.

It's an ebay trick. Mark up up an item so much, that people will start digging through his other sales and find good bargains. Believe it or not, this works, and works well. Just like how spam works, spam is around because spam is profitable.

It's an auction from our hyper-inflation economy of the future.
