This is a result of some weird setting on the seller's pricing bot. Any product that only has one remaining in stock gets a crazy price. You can see a bunch of them here, these are all from the same seller:

This could be a workaround on their part to accomplish some other goal, like SEO or reminding them to restock.

Same pix as the $17.38 meter, and like its picture brethren it includes FREE SHIPPING.

And - who can resist. Marked down from $10,000 to $9,500. And 63 sold!

What's to worry about? Its only FREE ENTERPRISE. And it obviously pleases the seller to be the most expensive item in the search tableau.

It does amaze me to see people DON'T examine Ebay to see who their competition BEFORE setting a price - but again - some Ebayers are intelligent sellers, some are intelligent buyers, and some are altogether something else.

I think I have one somewhere in the garage... I'd be willing to dig it out and let it go for just $5000, with free shipping. Cash sale only... Chap

The guy purchased a model A to get the original amp meter (if it actually is OEM). Now he wants to sell the amp meter to pay for the model A. The world is full of highly intelligent folks don't you know.
