surely this is a mistake ? Was cruising ebay and came across a few of these listed, and they reckoned they had sold a few . Looks like a $ 1000 more than what they really sell for ?

That's nuts! Are they gold plated?

do they come with a jar of vaseline?

A lot of eBay stores will set the price to something outrageous like that when they are out of stock. That way they don't lose their listing and they readjust it when it's back in stock.
