if you look around there are several ads like the one for the Kharmas. there was one last week for some Goldmund Dialogues. the seller was in Europe yet they offered "free shipping" within the US. the Minimum bid was $500 and the Goldmunds got up to $800....if you do the math, shipping a pair of 200 lb speakers from Europe to anywhere in the US would cost almost if not more than the highest bid. its kinda scary people are falling for this stuff...
it could be a holdover from the early days of ebay, when there were good deals to be had, traffic was lower, people were still new to the internet buying thing, and sellers at time had little knowledge on what they were selling. i remember Colnago bikes could be had for $800 or so, now the same bike fetches over $1700 consistantly. ...bottom line is, the days where you are gonna find a "steal" on ebay are pretty much over....way to keep an eye out
