I was lazily looking thru flee-bay and ran across this wonderfully overpriced detector. I read the whole ad to make sure I wasn't missing something. At the bottom of the description, there is even the suggested retail price in big bold red numbers.
I am flabbergasted that apparently 14 folks have bought one of these at this price. Or maybe that's just a trick to make us think that someone else got one and we should too.

Some idiot will pay it. The only reason bullcrap listings like that even exist, is because they obviously work. People don't do research, they're careless, etc. P.T. Barnum was ahead of his time

Man, that is simply unbelievable!! Somebody must be burning up a credit limit for that. Maybe it's a typo??? Maybe it's supposed to be $167. You're right about old PT Joe!! And just to make things interesting, I'll make bet they're refurbs!!!

Well any ebay shoppers would be smart to scroll down and see the same product at $160.00. SUCKERS

Scott, remember, you're dealing with a public that will buy a piece of toast because Elvis Presley's image "magically" appears on it. It's a miracle, Agnes! (Cue the church organs)

IN the "early" days of ebay, you could sell a common square nail for $10.00.
$10 was worth a lot more than it is today. People would buy anything.
Ebay is not anywhere near the same as it was back then, after 2007 starting going down hill.
Now you have to watch the scam sellers and scam bidders and scam products.
Still has honest sellers, honest buyers and honest products. Just have to be more careful.
Before 2007
That was the time many collectibles that were considered rare to see and now very common. Brought in the big bucks.....
It was a great time, for 6 years all I did was buy and sell collectibles on ebay............no need for a full time job working for some one...high profits.

People are so stupid to buy this! Gl and hh (oh wait I bought a rubbish detector at a huge price oh,I'm stupid as well)
I feel it is a typo and he didn't realize it. If you scroll down you will see another price for the same item.
