    No different than those buying 2018 silver proof sets for $10 more than Mint issue price. Available right now for $49.95.

    NONE were sold at that price. Click on the sales. They sold for $3.45. The seller just upped the price to $999, maybe they are out of inventory.

    This here is the reason. It’s done by many sellers to keep their listing active (especially if many people are on the watch list) while the seller restocks inventory.

    Well, you do get $99 in eBay bucks if you buy now!

    money laundering? i cant think of a single, legal reason why anyone would do this.

    This was exactly my first thought. Although it would be a foolish way to do any large amount of laundering.

    It probably wouldn't be too difficult to negotiate a hundred dollars off of that price!

    That must be an inventory ploy as stated above.... I cannot imagine even a new collector making such a foolish buy... Cheers, RickO

    It's a "marketing strategy":

    Step 1. Sell a bunch of nickel and dime sets for a few dollars each. This gets you a legitimate tag (e.g., "180 Sold").

    Step 2. Bump the price to $999. The "180 Sold" tag remains.

    And there must be at least one gullible customer that will "Buy 3 Get One Free".
