This particular ridiculous sale won't necessarily affect trading, but the $0.99 minimum does unfortunately.

I looked at his feedback and almost every card is sold for less then asking price, but eBay doesn't say how much lower. I suspect he prices them so high in hopes of catching a moron who thinks it is something really rare. Think back to the 90 Fleer Jose Uribe "rare Error card" that was selling for ridiculous prices a few years back. I think if you offer him a buck he would jump at it

I ran across that seller recently selling something I collect. I don't remember what it was but I do remember that it was a ridiculous price.
-------------------------------
Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized. |

I think they're trying to pray on the novice. Oh 500? Maybe they'll accept my $250 offer

I don't know that seller, but being out of range that bad, it looks the price was generated by a computer algorithm. It is very frequent on Amazon and not unheard on Ebay too. Most of the used books sold on Amazon go that lane. They try to calculate the supply and the demand and other factors to generate what they think the best price they can sell that book at, not its actual market value. That's why you can get it for $0.01 or $1000, even it can be the opposite in a brick and mortar used/new book store.

I blocked that seller from my search results YEARS ago. They are ridiculous, and if someone leaves them a negative, they go ballistic on them.
