Looking at it I think the seller edited the title and description and accidentally added an extra 1 to the price.


To be fair to the seller I did buy a couple of cheap faulty HL KT's off him when they first came out. They both worked fine for me so I think they were returns that other buyers couldn't get working ( dud batteries or loose crystal).

> accidentally added an extra 1 to the price.

Ebay charge for each new entry but not if you edit an existing one.

Hence when sellers run out of stock, they edit the lot and stick a one on the price, or a two, or whatever, so that their ad stays live on ebay, without costing them anything, until they get new stock.

If someone is dumb enough to buy at that price, they just buy one retail from some other seller and still pocket a huge profit.
