Saw this on Ebay after looking for some Castrol srf for a bleed that is due before next track day...shame on BMA parts in Glendale CA for either being ignorant, which I doubt or just plain greedy as f for a hard to get fluid at the moment, good for a laugh at least thanks.

Shame on the fool that actually purchases that. I trust that is a mistake.

Yes, but fast 'n free shipping.
Who can refuse? I mean the gougers out there are trying to get about a $100 for this bottle but this is just a hole notha level ...10 x what your closest fellow gouger wants is precious...I guess they have had a some people buy it because its been at that price for a while now so its not a typo lol

Hey buy the warranty and submit a claim for spilling it out of the bottle and get your money back lol I saw a few things priced on eBay this week for $999 that normally cost $20 or less. Hopefully, it's just something wrong with the pricing algorithm.

I've also seen Ebay stores do this when they're out of stock on items. They'll put an outrageous price on it, knowing no one will purchase it, and it keeps them from having to pull the listing until they can get new stock (when they drop the price back down to a "normal" level.)

That seems to me like a reasonable explanation. The seller might also want to keep their offer conveniently in the arena, but can't or don't want to do the deal in today's icky world.

This is 100% the exact reason.

Has to be something stupid like that, it just makes no sense otherwise, still a good laugh tho. Wonder if they get penalized for pulling an item off due to no inventory or something.

No, its just easier to change the price then to have to completely relist it with every detail.

except re-listing is as trivial as taking your old listing and hitting 'next' like 3 times. But by far every merchant uses some 3rd party listing tool and that is probably been coded to do the 999 thing
