look at this. 22 sold. What on earth? 

Who in their right mind would spend that much money($1975.95 if you don't want to look) on a single 1080?

[Fungal]

Good deal

[Marauder]

People with more money than cents. (sense)

[Clanscorpia]

Ebay might be saying 22 from othert sellers with the same product

[Enderman]

Is there a way of knowing what price they were sold at?

Because I would assume that they raised the price to 2k because they are low on stock, and the 22 people bought it at the standard price.

Well three of them did at least...

[Trav_X]

4 of the 22 were bought at $835 dollars all by one person, which is still a high price but not almost 2 grand.

It could be worse

[carsonwen]

I spent $1100 on mine to get it off Ebay back when they were basically unavailable or out of stock everywhere. But yea 2k is a lot.

well it is apple. if they make gpu it would be more expensive than a quadro or a titan xp while still have performance of an integrated gpu

Not sure what apple has to do with it, but my point was that it was a used iPhone 6 going for a reasonable price ($399). Someone bid $9,999, then someone bid $100 over them.

At least it was unlocked

Well damn, if only I had known it was so easy to trick people into throwing money at you, lol. I can't fathom how can people be so stupid. I am inclined to think that those might be drug deals disguised as overpriced junk, but I guess "never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity" applies.

You have an interesting point. What if the sales are fake sales just to try to get it on top of the ebay lists so people see it and possibly buy it? 

 

Like what if only 2 of the 22 buyers are real lol
