I'm not sure, but I think a shipping charge of $465 USD for a handful of 15mm figures may be a record auction |

Most likely a typo.
It looks like the listing was ended shortly after it started.
The seller looks to be a new eBay user. |

I changed my original post to mention a handful of 15mm figures. Not sure why the edit didn't work. |

About a week ago I saw a listing for a vintage set of wargame rules. The start price was $16,000. USD Flukey things turn up in there from time to time. |

I'm guessing it was meant to be $4.65 USD |

Accidents happen. I certainly have my share of typos. At least my share. And, of course, people do sometimes overestimate the value of their stuff. Occasionally, exorbitant prices through third party sellers are a means for criminals to launder payments. It's not even a new thing due to eBay online sales. At in person auctions, you start participating in regular bidding. Then you and a confederate run the price up so you can make your payment. The seller will usually have a few items up as cover and also as a fallback. Criminals have even had "disputes" over whether or not the item selling for more than the agreed upon price to an uninvolved party constitutes payment. We live in an interesting world. |
