it's a tactic some sellers use, not only to make their lower price look attractive, but also to bait people who don't take the time to watch what price and seller pop up. it happens more than you'd think...

$16000+ and no free shipping? Man, I would have bought it if they offered free shipping! That extra $14 would just kill me!

One of the Ebay vendor told me that it's tactic they use to avoid relisting fee if item goes out of stock. Jack up the price knowing that no one is going click buy now price. Maybe it is same practice they are using to avoid the fees?

Often done to screw with Camelizer results - hides smaller changes in prices.
