The one at the bottom of the price list. I know that every seller can ask whatever
they want, but that one seems a bit high.

As with everything in life, it is worth what someone is willing to pay.
Would you have thought that digital pictures go for millions of dollars?
I agree that it is too much though and I would not pay it, but if someone is
willing to pay it, good on the seller.

Or he simply put in the wrong price

QFT. That is how the monetary / capitalistic system works in our world of today.
Whether you like it or not. As long as we cannot come up with a 'better'
system... this is it

In fact, it doesn't matter if it is. The price is 350 at the moment, typo
or not.

Another way of looking at it is that LEGO, vintage LEGO, may be more of a store
of wealth, than fiat or digital currency. One can be mined, the other can be
printed endlessly, but vintage LEGO is immutable.

It's probably a typo.

Yeah, looking at the price it is $350.00 in EUR; it was probably supposed to
be $35.

no it isn't, but nearly every entry in the catalog has a couple outliers.
