I sometimes wonder . . .


I sometimes wonder whether these sellers use these kinds of prices in the hope that someone will get confused about the currencies, get confused about the watch, or something else.

I mean, if you lived in Norway, were checking ebay, got confused for a minute, and thought that it would be 5000 Norwegian Kroner (equal to around $770), then maybe the seller has a motive to list at the crazy prices.
