I don't get it....

While searching for old suffolk latches, I came across these new ones. I know that people used to sell stuff for $1.00 and then charge $60 shipping to pay less in ebay fees. That doesn't work now anyways, now that ebay also charges a fee on shipping costs. Anywho, what is the logic behind $1,000+for shipping? And it even says that they have sold several?? I'm confused about these two listings...

I wouldn't be surprised if those "sold" items were "bought" by the seller's friends or even on a different account of his/her own. Make the listing look nicer with some activity I guess.

    It is possible that they made a mistake when listing these two items.  I took a look at all the other items and sorted by highest + shipping these are the only two of about 300 items available like that, all their other items has resonable shipping rate. Maybe a messeage to them may be in order.

That's as weird as putting a Princess Diana beanie baby on Ebay for $1,000,000!    What are they thinking?  They say in the description that it's extremely rare, but there are 11 pages of the same item.  Somebody was sold a bill of goods.
