If you thought 100% markup on a GPU was bad; try 420% on a flight yoke

So I was watching yesterday's (March 1st) Mingles with Jingles and in the first half of the video he was talking about HOTAS joysticks and flight yoke's when he said he found that the Alpha Honeycomb Flight Yoke with an MSRP of $249 was being marked up on eBay at around $1,300. So about 420%.

 

And I thought video card markups were bad.

Is this an advertisement for the video? Kinda feels like it.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

Only reason I linked it is so people can see it for themselves. A kind of cite my source.
