Ever seen a ridiculous price on an item on EBay and wondered

Wonder no more.

We were looking for a mobility scooter charger. Normal price about £32. saw one for £332. messaged the guy "is it a mistake?" No we are out of stock so put a ridiculous price to stop anyone buying it.  ;D

Item located in Britain but suspect is a Chinese organisation from the grammar.

Yeah, I believe it costs more to end a listing and then re-list the item than it does to just amend the price to something insane..

I think the same is true on Amazon marketplace.
