Maybe they accidentally tacked on another '0' to the opening bid and haven't noticed yet? Please?

Sigh.

I always knew my Affinity P Bass would increase in value... 'cha-ching' on my investment scheme!

Some people are so ignorant yet optimistic about the value of their possessions. I collect antique tools but will also look for bargains on tools I use regularly. One day I found someone at a flea-market selling some woodworking tools. He had a small run of the mill and fairly beat up Stanley hand planer which can be bought new for about $8 at The Home Depot so when he said he'd take "two-fifty" for it I handed over a $5 bill. After a very long uncomfortable pause he said "Uh, I mean $250... I'm new at selling antique tools but that's what the book states it's worth". I own some pretty rare and pristine planes and spokeshaves that are well over 110 years old that aren't valued at $250. I wished him luck with his newfound antiques venture.

Seriously though someone should let him know that he's asking for far too much before someone with less of a clue buys the thing...

Yeah, I'm going to send a polite e-mail to him explaining he might want to lower the price if he expects to sell it...what do you think the actualy price of a bass + case + amp + strap + cord is on the 'bay? $150 if he's lucky?
