This is one of the things I dislike about eBay. People are able to ask astronomical prices and have no motivation to sell for less, due to the almost-zero overhead. A real business with expenses wouldn't be able to do that; eventually, the lost revenue from storing Gullwing wheels would force them to lower the price (or, I guess, keep losing money).
One of the many reasons I don't think businesses should be allowed to sell through eBay.
