I am sorry I got rid of my Kawasaki. I thought Valk parts were pricey.

Crazy pricing, are there that many ?????'s in the world?
If so we are worse off than I thought.

There has always been those sellers on eBay, I guess they take the occasional buyer who isn't paying attention, can't convert currency or something like that.  Even now there are Iphone 6's on ebay for thousands of $'s.  Sort your next search by "highest price first" and be prepared to be shocked.

You guys... lol.

Those prices are placeholders so that the lister doesn’t have to relist the entire ad when he gets more of that part in stock. He can simply change the price back down to normal.

 You put the high price part in your cart or wish list and each time that you log on to eBay, it’ll notify you that the price has changed if it came back into stock. 

 Nothing nefarious going on at all. Just a savvy seller looking out for his customers.

correct. the seller states that they are doing this so people can see how others are selling false items as the real thing to collectors.
