I've seen overpriced items like this many times. Chances are the watchers are watching to see if anyone would actually buy it, and guess what? Sooner or later, someone probably will. I have seen this sort of thing happen over and over to my total bewilderment.
Glad someone said something! One particular seller buys her goods from Bunnings and then lists them here for rediculous prices. For example - Decor8 stone mosaic tiles (one of Bunnings exclusive brands) are around $10.50 at the store but are listed here for over $80. Her ad reads "pack of 8 tiles" so I wrote to double-check and she was quite rude when I thanked her for the reply but opted to buy it from bunnings 8 times cheaper! I noted Bunnings now have an Ebay store and the "Best Price" guarantee should slow her down.... one would think ๐
It will only slow her down if a buyer actually knows it is a Bunnings line.
I suppose she must get some people who just browse and buy although i agree with you that if you paid that and then found the same item 8 times cheaper, you wouldn't be overly impressed. Leaves a bad feeling in the mouth.
A bit dearer is okay, that sort of thing happens all the time with price variations. But not by that much usually.
