Not MT specific, but I couldn't resist:

I think I read that it is something to do with keeping an ebay place-holder for an item that they don't currently have for sale but expect to sell again in the future.  If someone is crazy enough to buy they just cancel the transaction (and refund if the buyer was totally off their face and actually paid the stupid amount).

Maybe if it does not sell for awhile he will raise it to $ 500?  He must think it is worth a lot of money to re-profile the blade.

Do a quick search for Leatherman OHT on ebay US. if you check the completed sales people are regularly paying over $100 for them with many sales at $130 to $149.

I don't get it. You can buy them online or at REI all day for $82

Why would people pay this much?

whoa...those prices are wayyyyy out there. I feel so fortunate for having the ability to get stuff for USD street prices...altho I did spend $104 for my Black Oxide OHT (including S&H)
Cheers,

Not from Ebay but a Turkish store....
....This is the price for a SWISSCHAMP...
...(Here costs over $100)

Edit: it really IS as expensive as swisschamp?!

A bit too overpriced IMO.

Am I missing something because this has 142 watchers and 499 sold?

Yes, the ones that sold, sold for $64-$77

He must be out of stock so instead of paying the new listing fee raised the price to $640 or just simply mistyped when he relisted. Both have been known to happen.

If you click on the 499 sold you'll see the prices they sold for.
