Someone's trying to artificially instigate the market. Happens with obscure videogames, records and coins as well. Setting the bar at 35k somewhere visible can make it easier to sell your stockpile at 1k a piece when people think they're getting a good deal despite it being an item that has plenty of circulation to not warrant such a high price even for avid collectors.

Oh so its not really worth that much? And its only like that because it's rare or discontinued? I figured it was to good to be true

On a side note, new beauty and the beast is coming out in 2017, looks interesting.

Sometimes people will go on eBay and buy up every listing for a cheap videogame on gameboy or something. Could be a sports game that is probably a shitty game anyway. They'll buy all the $2 cartridges until they no longer show up in any listings, and will then post their own listing raising the price to $2000 for one cartridge. And then another listing for a measly $200. All this when he just bought 10-20 cartridges at $2 a piece, and will more than double his money with the sale of just two cartridges for the $200 price.

The same kind of market manipulation actually drives the prices of diamonds as well.

Get schooled by Professor PatrickKn!

Seriously thats how it works, there are incredible and elaborate scams going on ebay and any place you can think of that can provide an angle to make a buck.

Don't buy ANYTHING on eBay unless you ventured farr offsite to find the real price of objects.
Scams galore.

eBay has been synonymous with scams for the larger part of it's existence.
