Take a look at the bid history on that item. It looks very suspicious to me. This is obviously an instance of shill bidding which is where the owner (or his amigo) bids up the item in an attempt to jack up the price. You'll note the winner had zero feedback.
Why pay "more" for USED??
Ok, I know you must be thinking this thread is titled wrong, but I just came across an Ebay ad where a pair of B&W Nautilus 802's sold for $8,101 used! To make matters worse they were all screwed up. It has pics of the midrange cabinet all scratched and the ad says the tweeters are dented. I'm beside myself on how someone could spend "over" retail (N802's retail for $8k) for a pair of used speakers that are f'd up anyway. If your spending $8k on speakers don't you do some research first??
Don't believe me? Here's the ad:
