When I was at the Hershey Antique Auto show there was a stand with one of the yellow Coke crates for... I think it was $95. 

About two rows over there was a guy selling used tools.  He had a handful of dirty old grease guns for sale, sitting in an identical yellow Coke crate.   :glare:

Do you think this sellers are serious? Do they really think these prices are reasonable, or is there some other reason why they list at these prices?

We are not the target market. they are looking for the person who has to have it, likely on an impulse buy or those that don't have to ask "how much". Its like going into an antique store around here and saying who the heck is paying $35,000 for a bedroom dresser or kitchen buffet. Yes, they are out there.
