Maybe it was a misprint

In all seriousness, I have seen stuff like this sell, but no clue as to why.
Maybe a child ordering the most expensive thing they can find

They listed their whole store as a single item.
or
Money laundering.

Could be a fake order that was never payed so that the price is skewed so they
can list others higher or something, another user suggested “money laundering”
which is possible tho you would think it would be smarter if they did that under
a rarer item so it dosnt stick out like a sore thumb if they got investigated
or such so in this case I doubt it is but it’s possible. like they mentioned
they decided to sell their whole inventory under 1 item (probably since they
couldn’t figure out the custom item listing thing )

Would it show up like this if it's part of a super lot with the seller getting
rid of the store in one go?

If it's part of a super lot, no, I don't think so.

It almost messed me up but I already had some in my inventory and when I saw
the new 6 months average was now $3.00 something I noticed this and just kept
it at the old average.
