It seems to be a one off, so probably a 100x too large typo. I would imagine
most people would notice before checking out with that price. It is the ones
at 10x average price that might not get spotted.

More like 1000x a price that would be in line with the others. The decimal place
is 3 to the right of where it should have been. Probably.

It looks like most of their prices have three digits (ex: $0.431), so it just
appears that they missed a decimal point when listing those...

I've done that before. Listed some slopes for $3.00 instead of $0.03. Actually
sold around 5 to two different buyers before catching it.

But if they sell them all, that's a cool $345k.

This happened on ebay and amazon with Lego. Not a stretch to think it would happen
here IMO
my money is on typo as well, but still ML is plausible

It is highly unlikely if you look at the evidence. Not just one part of it, all
of it. Yes, this is a piece priced very high. But this is a well established
seller with almost 12800 orders. No parts have actually sold at that price. The
rest of their parts are reasonably priced. I think that all points to a simple
typo error.
The problem is that new or not yet registered users see such allegations, then
repeat the allegation elsewhere, that BL is used for money laundering or BL is
full of sellers with high undisclosed fees after you place an order, or sellers
that don't send orders, and so on.

I just thought it was a funny joke considering the price.

Don't I know it!
I get it, something to post about. But more often than not, such posts lead to
public assertions of another member.
If it’s actual concern or curiosity, contact the member directly. Doing
so you may just be helping them out, beyond satisfying your curiosity.
I know I'd appreciate it as a seller

It appears that the seller has fixed the listing. Available new volume is 61K
pcs, while last 6 months sales are 21K pcs. In theory, that suggests an 18 month
supply, unless some of the sales were B2B, and reappeared under a different seller.
I wonder how often that happens.
