More likely this guy likely heard a tall tale about someone who made a good plea on ebay and some rich guy actually bought his over-priced item, so he figured he'd give it a try.
There's all kind of stupid out there in the wide world.
China seller explained such price to me once: he was going on a vacation and didn't want to close the auction but didn't want anybody to win it, so he set a crazy price. must be something about fees for reopening the selling.
or maybe this particular seller above simply was happily drunk.
