http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-RCA-SELECTAVISION-CED-VIDEODISC-PLAYER-MODEL-SJT-300-W-REMOTE-22-DISCS-/112276586327?hash=item1a2434bf57:g:PJ0AAOSwnHZYglQC

Has a remote with it that probably won't work with the unit. Just the shipping charge is about twice what I'd pay for the unit. Ebay prices never cease to amaze me. There used to be someone selling carbonator caps for a penny. It's a cap for a 2 litre bottle of soda pop that you can hook a co2 hose to to carbonate the liquid. Essentially just imagine the cap to a bottle of pop so it might cost a dollar or two to mail it. This seller charged 19.95 for shipping. Every time they'd list it I'd turn them in to ebay for excessive shipping cost.

Quarterly taxes are due if I'm not mistaken. It will sit there and they will learn.

The way it has probably just sat there in their store forever, maybe, PROBABLY the seller is trying to get some attention of any sort.

This has been relisted with lower price and shipping but ..... no discs with it this time around. $399.95 and only $45 to ship. Was $712.95 and $92.95 to ship. I'm still thinking the remote won't work with the player?

NO.

It's easier to fix a broken one cheaper than that and even new in the box that's too much.

eBay sellers are going through their periodic time of whatever, maybe taxes, who knows, and some just jack the price up to get some interest so that maybe it will sell if they drop the price again...it's like wiggling a fishing line.

It's a mindgame.

He actually lowered once before with the discs but it was still close to 700 bucks.

The original shipping of $95 or whatever was a real wtf moment for me also. I didn't catch the first price drop. Another one that always gets me on there is when a seller puts "RARE!!" on every item they sell. Like some very common disc they have listed for 49.95 along with the "RARE!!" at the end of the title.
Years ago on a tractor forum someone had a 12 page manual for an old tractor and stated something like "this is the pdf of the manual I printed" and the price was 99.95 and someone bought it. Then someone posted the link to the manual from the files section of that forum with the question "why would someone pay money for that? It's in our file section for free??". Ebay can be a wacky place.
