Back in the day when Ebay charged for a listing up front (whether the item sold or not) this practice was discouraged. Now there's no downside to it.

A couple of weeks ago the same seller got almost $400 for a Phantom Electrolaunch, built and with no photoflash batteries. I wouldn't pay that much for one in a sealed kit. They are very scarce, but not exceptionally rare. In fact, his sale at that price managed to pull another one out of the woodwork.........
